  Shisan: Autumn Communion      
  autumn communion--
another visit paid to
Basho-an 		Shigeto Kobayashi  
  bush clover petals
spill into the old pond 		Eiko Yachimoto  
  a housewife's busy mind
she has just taken up
oil painting		 Kikuyo Sugiura  
 
   
  on the rope way
heading for the Lake's End		 Junko Nagashima
  
  the thin winter moon
sees the love scene
remaking of a film 		Midori Suzuki  
  the sound of birdsong
over morning coffee 		Junko  
 
   
  the ring removed
with determination
ah, the mark of it		 Midori  
  holding a kitten
a convalescent girl 		Kikuyo  
  woven mat of full blossoms
the azure of the sky
deepens 		Eiko  
 
   
  munching norimaki
an accompaniment to sake 		Shigeto  
  how many more hits
before the new record
Ichiro, the Major Leaguer 		Kikuyo  
  against cumuli
the church spire shines 		Junko  
         
 

Composed on the occasion of the fourth Global Renku Memorial
23rd of September 2004
led by Shigeto Kobayashi
