RENGA


1

If only I could
order the gusty breezes
I should like to say
I command you to leave this
solitary tree alone

2

The tree is old
it stands
facing the river

3

Night ferries
luminous swans
afloat on the moon's river

4

Silvery clouds
summerwinds blowing
on the sea

5

Burning forests
blazing summers
blinding suns

6

Un papillon aveugle
aimant
une lumière éteinte

7

Amar
só o efémero
as pétalas que caem

8

Like the sun and the moon
east and west
raising the light

9

O vento sopra
suavemente penetra
fecunda o ventre
da terra
