From One Hundred Poems From the Japanese, edited by Kenneth Rexroth…

——

I wish I were close

To you as the wet skirt of

A salt girl to her body.

I think of you always.

Suma no ama no

Shio yaki ginu no

Hito hi mo kimi wo

Wasurete omowamu

Happy Valentines Day.

Significantly,

Update…

Again, it’s about making conscious choices.
