summer grasses
all that remains
of warriors’ dreams
© Matsuo Basho (1644-1694) (Tr. Chèvrefeuille)
ancient warriors ghosts
mists over the foreign highlands -
waiting for the full moon
© Chèvrefeuille
After war
Shambles and ruins
Moss and grass
Let us look up
To the twinkling stars
As long as we can
Warrior's glory vanishing
Like cherry blossoms
In the mud
