The people who abandoned this samurai village

Crossing to the far side of the world

To Inca towns where the children of immigrants wait

Can’t see the plover

Violet sash hazily floating

Hands kneading and pushing aside

The flower of the waves

Folded and crushed

Is the moon shining in the sky above the inn

Where an artist returned from the South Pacific

Haltingly confesses

That he can’t paint the plover?

Alone lone lone

Somewhere in the world my wife is dancing again tonight

A coup d’état in Bolivia

A terrible earthquake in Peru

It’s an outcast’s village that sleeps at the bottom of the water

Is the old woman dead?

The rain runs down my neck soaks my back

News doesn’t carry from the samurai village

(For Chijuyā)
