a wandering crow
its old nest has become
a plum tree ©Basho(tr.
Jane Reichhold)
a burgundy fruit
ah, sweet & soft ...a dream ©Humbird
oh, wondering crow
its luck brought the growth
of the nest
hidden in a crotch
near the trunk...the best
o, pondering crow
takes wing to top branch
of tall pruned tree
sees silver line netting-
and sets birds free!
