Jisei meditations

Sick on a journey--
in my dream staggering
over withered fields.

 
Matsuo Basho (1696)


Empty-handed I entered
the world
Barefoot I leave it.
My coming, my going --
Two simple happenings
That got entangled.



Kozan Ichikyo (1360)



 
Like dew drops
on a lotus leaf
I vanish.


Senryu (1827)

Cicada shell:  
little did I know
it was my life
 
Shuho (1785)
