Fuji in Springtime / Hangs like grapes from the trellis / Reminds me to breath

The air is heavy / filled with necessary thought / waiting for spring rain

On a bicycle / Leaning against a stone wall / Ruminating spring

The cicada's buzz / ushers in the summertime / providing rebirth

Today dawns clear skies / summer opens like a stage / rich with light and sound

Thick night dripping down / absorbs almost everything / but anxiety

A sudden downpour / frightening children and dogs / scares away the heat
