Spring equinox

 

Spring equinox
For a moment
Reflected in the pond
Trees which
Will grow here in the future

Winter Olympics

 

Winter Olympics
She prepares
Her knitting needles



I know
He remembers something
I don’t…
My childhood teddy bear

Winter night...

 

Winter night...
Untouched whiteness
Of her diary's pages



Mulled wine -
Through naked branches
Rays of light



Snowy path
All the footprints filled
With silence

Lockdown

 

Lockdown
On the beach
Empty sandcastles



Splash!
Someone has just fallen in
Love

Four Elements Kyoka Set

 

Letters
In the fire
All these things
Which turn out to be
Only illusions



Creatures
In the ocean's depth
All these secrets
Which began
To live their own lives



Whispers
In the wind
Everything dances
To the music
Of the quanta



Seeds
In the ground
All these predictions
Hidden
In our small talk
