after slow thawing

Spring winds know bitterness

the place to break hearts

before the new blossom starts

pavilion of misery



~ when darkness yields, a new dance ~



let’s fish together

gathering the red bean seeds

on ten thousand trails

joy blooms when the heart exhales

pavilion of happiness
