Diary (May 9th)
The rain is falling heavily
From the wholly dark low sky
With no pause
Raining, raining, raining, raining . . . . .
Wood of chestnut trees in fresh green
Coppice, bamboo thicket in black
Towering zelkovas in light yellow and
Row of cherry trees in deep blue are all
Gleaming with wet, vomiting vigor and shouting delights
From the heavy dark gray sky
Rain is with no pause, with no recess
Raining, raining, raining . . . . . . . . . .
