this road—
no one goes down it,
Autumn evening.
Matsuo Basho
(1980 travel from Lake Tahoe to Fortuna, California)
route 36–
ledge acclaims redwood treetops,
no pregnant pit stops

Matsuo Basho
My brother, it’d snowed so much
That the Sun had died.
Poems are vital
For a better Society
Du Fu is happy.
Su Shi is proud too
Yes, Poetry is important
For the Universe.

BASHO
Three hundred years passed—
Basho's frog still goes kerplunk.
He's still much with us.
Three hundred years passed—
Basho's frog still goes kerplunk.
Can you hear him yet?
Three hundred years passed—
Basho's frog still jumps—
kerplunk.
Can't you hear him now?
Basho could hear it.
A frog, strangely eternal,
an old pond—kerplunk
"Go to the pine if you want to learn about pine"
Matsuo Basho
How long is falling the autumn
leaf
torn of the too long
summer.
And in the high pines
with their bodies defending
the sky against
the earth
the steel edge of the winter
is breaking in two.
Both you
and me
toss both
the time and
the wind
in pines propped up
back to
back.
And the pines recognized us.
A morning spell
freshly proposed
comes quietly in
yesterday's ambient air
pushes out of the screen
archaic puffs of stale
what meanders out
is the remnants of me
before the crisis
caught between
hope and despair
I take to daydreaming
alone
again
in my bed
