The flowers and my loveWhere is my yester-love?
— Ono no Komachi
The flowers and my loveWhere is my yester-love?
ImperceptibleThis flower-like human heart.
You do not comeMy heart burns up.
I fell asleep thinking of him,I would never have awakened.
Although I come to you constantlyare not worth one waking touch of you.
He does not come.My heart chars.
