it isn't spring
 yet
butterfly

winter dusk
looking back
I turn to nothing

the cherry blossoms 
aren’t in full bloom yet 
the car park’s full

the winter too 
less muddied 
this year

deep midst the mountains 
a disappearing sutra 
visiting a grave

winter sun descending...
a ceremony of brewing mates
and loneliness
