raging seas—
lying over Sado island
the Milky Way
BashÅ Matsuo

That place of rage
Blood veins thick
With the rich liqueurs
Of violent emotion
That mind of rage
Not another thought welcome
Beyond the lusted for
Languors of love
That hope of rage
Where the stream flows
The sunlight sparkles on the water
As together hands are held and steps taken
