Kiyoshi Kobayakawa, Expression of Eyes, 1931
I used up this body
longing
for one who does not come
A deep valley, now,
what once was my heart
Izumi Shikibu (974-1034)
It seemed the plum trees
were already in bloom
but when I picked a branch
what fell – so much like flowers –
was snow.
Izumi Shikibu (974-1034)
