It's not the same this year as last
It's not the same this year as last
Things now aren't what they were
I wonder where my old friends are?
New friends already have begun drifting off
It's worst of all at this time of year
now when the leaves are scattering down
When mountains and streams turn somber again
Nothing anywhere seems to please
Everything I see
Fills me with icy loneliness
- Ryokan

Eyes Dark
by Mei Yao-ch’en
A darkness disease has seized my eyes.
On bright clear days, I Walk through fog,
and whatever I see is double. It’s scary.
My writing brush scrawls around, lost.
People coming toward me look like haze
and birds soaring past are a quick blur.
No telling what’s what in this confusion,
I’m suddenly free of likes and dislikes.
