A Potted Plant
by Hideo Yokokawa
in memory of Ozaki Hosai
In this heavy rainy season, I
was given
by a lady
who is 92 years of age living near my residence,
a newly potted hydrangea,
which is shining
on the side table in my living
room.
Through the dim eyes,
a brilliance of living
gets into my heart.
