見下せば月にすゞしや四千軒
mioroseba
tsuki ni suzushi ya
yonsenken
(Masaoka Shiki, Matsuyama, 17 September 1867 - 19 September 1902)
looking down I see,
cool in the moonlight,
4000 houses
Translated by Janine Beichman
Poems
- The Observation Car
Poems about the world and words around us: boats in Istanbul, buses in Mexico, trains in Sri Lanka, the art of conversation, sweet-and-sour memories, pigeons on statues, nessness and nesslessness, singing out of tune and dancing with someone else's shadow. You can read (and hear) several of these poems at my website at www.sidewaysstation.com/my_poems/
