without luggage
over the clouds
a kite 

birthday —
in my daughter’s hair
a woman’s perfume

荷物なし

雲の上

凧

chrysanthemums
one by one flowering again
my thoughts for him

a trout gobbles

flight of butterflies
the thump
of a coconut

a wave of the hand
just before leaving —
the nightingale sings

ココナッツにゴツン

peak of pollution —
in search of a breath of fresh air
with Google Earth

fluttering wings —
a swan taking flight
with my breath

白鳥が飛び立つ
