Again,
again, and
over again—
Picturing in my heart
erasing and picturing.
Kurikaeshi
kurikaeshi mata
kurikaeshi,
mune ni egaki tsu
keshi tsu egaki tsu.
Poem by Kaz
Within this serene snowfall
one billion worlds
arise.
In each,
flurries come floating down.
淡雪の中に建てたる三千大世界またその中に泡雪ぞ降る
Awayuki no
naka ni tachi taru
michiōchi.
Mata sono naka ni
awayuki zo furu.
Ryōkan
