Morning Glories! (Asagao ya)
by Chiyo-ni (Soen) and Suejo
|
waking not
from the dreamscape
-- morning glories!
|
sue
|
the moon held still
in a garden stream
|
soen
|
birds of passage
awkwardly
perambulate
|
soen
|
asking whither
her footsteps lead
|
sue
|
overworked
the ship's ovens
too few in number
|
sue
|
perhaps it wasn't dusk
but rain clouds
|
soen
|
half read
Genji shines out
from its special case
|
soen
|
a cat peeks under
the heated throw
|
sue
|
with each change
in the breeze
the call of a bell
|
sue
|
away from Kyoto
love also ages
|
soen
|
a famed bloom
from her sleeve
a hint of aloeswood
|
sue
|
wicker and wisteria
ever entwined
|
soen
|
朝がはや
|
朝がほや見たらぬ夢のさめどころ
|
すえ
|
|
月はながさず庭の遣水
|
素園
|
|
わたり鳥むつかしいほど出ありきて
|
素園
|
|
こえかけられてどちへ行人
|
すえ
|
|
数足らぬ舟の竈のいそがしき
|
すえ
|
|
暮たではないこれは雨雲
|
素園
|
|
読さしてひかる源氏も箱の内
|
素園
|
|
火燵のすそをのぞくから猫
|
すえ
|
|
ひとつづつかぜからちがふ鐘の声
|
すえ
|
|
都はなれて恋も古びる
|
素園
|
|
花の名は袖からもれて伽羅の音
|
すえ
|
|
むすびもながく枝折戸の藤
|
素園
|
