Chieko Rides The Wind
Chieko's now completely crazy, using gestures
Rather than words to call the magpies and plovers.
The forest windbreak slopes down,
A mass of yellow pine pollen streams through the air,
The 99 Mile Beach smokes in the bright May breeze.
Chieko's summer kimono darts in and out of the pines.
In the white sand are pine truffles,
I slowly follow after Chieko
Picking up the pine truffles.
The magpies and plovers are Chieko's friends.
For Chieko, who has given up being human,
The frighteningly clear morning air is a wonderful place to wander,
Chieko flies like a bird.
