In the morning dark,
Clouds bring heavy rain showers
With scattered sun breaks,
The breeze, unusually warm—
Is it truly November?

Paper blizzard builds.
Shoveling all day against
bureaucratic winds,
tired bushi wishes for
sun beams glistening on blades.

Kodaiji's lanterns
Glow against the turning leaves
Of its night gardens.
Is that the same moon I saw
Watching over the treetops?

Looking up at the
Snow capped plural off Mt. Fuji,
The cloud are heavy
They obscure the peak from those
Upon the eastern sea road.

Contemplating a
Trip to the fabric market,
And deciding what
I will wear one year from now.
Careful plans thwart tragedy.

6日
Outside my window
The rumble of the railroad
Shudders rhythmically;
Here I lay, tablet in hand
As others rush to their jobs.

Frost in the morning
Warm coffee soothes a tired soul
The half-pint wakes happy
Smell of fall permeates all
Time to plan some rectangles

Drip. Drip. Raindrops fall,
Sliding down green pine needles
To tap on the leaves
Of the autumn witch hazel,
tonight a golden umbrella.

Hello, my old friend.
I see you floating above
The telephone lines.
Later you follow me home,
Silver moon in the night sky.

Master is away,
and the behavior of the
apprentices has
already turned to chaos.
Return may be beyond hope.

7日:
Quiet autumn skies,
and the cold, crisp autumn air,
seem cool and friendly;
There is no indication
Of turbulent southern winds.

Family has come
It's the half-pint's birthday week
Four girls one bathroom
"A warrior's mind reflects..."
Or better hide in my room

His eyes plead with me
As he reaches through the wire:
I hold out apples.
For a brief instant I don't know
Which hand is mine or Monkey's.

Writing while on road
Is as difficult as then,
But now the riders
Are so swift the message can
Leave my hands and fly to yours.
