Young Fuji Samurai II
__________________

Early in the morning—
The farmer’s son wades his way
Across the river.

Swollen with the rain—
The horned moon high overhead
To tend my garden.

The pears are all ripe—
Thru the ruined lattice-door
He comes to visit.

Spreading his long legs—
Overgrown with dark ivy
The ripe pears can wait.
