安らかに眠るKishida Toshiko
flowers do not run away…
to grow beautiful, healthy plants
try to appreciate
the feeling of being one
set out trellises in ways
that nurtures and promotes growth
to produce magnificent blooms
imagine to be the flower
yet what encourages gardeners
to cause their flowers to suffer?
Is it the promise of profit/heaven
that leads to cruelty of flowers
rather than tenderly?
a truly unfortunate, pitiful reason
this must be for the flowers
who must suffer, and…for what…
To be equally yolked
may make convenience
but convenience in this life
does not mean better
-$15,000 in debt
what’s honorable?
pay what’s owed… despite interest
please give me some time
