In the ear, rain
like a great throng
that could pass for unseen diaries,
my mind a foreigner
troubled by rogue citizens.
the moving domes
of umbrellas
We were hidden in small umbrella
The rain was touching ous
The wind was pulling our
Umbrella
We hold the umbrella
Bought it near ous
We both got near each other
We looked at our face
And the rain stopped
The red orange sky
When the sun set had a while
We just found
Eachother in an
Dark red umbrella
Siren through the rain
high-pitched howl and soft spatter
gone, both, for morning
I kiss these red lips
and put them back in their box
wax plugs my nostrils
Teach an idiot
to write haiku; do you still
have an idiot?
A child’s persimmon
half eaten, half-sticky, slid
between two cushions
Huge green umbrella
swallows his slim form whole at
the Ave’s last pay phone
Splash–drench bicycle!
That sputter of rain, flipping the hedge-rows
And making the highways hiss.
How I love it !
And the touch of you upon my arm
As you press against me that my umbrella
May cover you.
Tinkle of drops on stretched silk.
Wet murmur through green branches.
What fell upon my open umbrella —
A plum-blossom ?
Under red umbrellas with cream-white centres,
A procession of Geisha passes
In front of the silk-shop of Matsuzaka-ya.
