a red telephone

歳月や今川焼きに幼児の香
saigetsu ya Imagawa-yaki ni yooji no ka

Le temps passe vite !
Le fumet de "Imagawayaki"
Me rappelle mon enfance.

time passes fast -
the fragrance of Imagawa waffles
remind me of my childhood

 花舗の灯果舗の灯殊にレモンの艷めく灯

  鴨遊ぶ地畔孤客でおしゃれで僕で

  夫人が撞く鐘の音存分に吸う緑雨

  汝の甘えに似て雪柳陽になだれ

  見よ東海の岬に彳てばひそかに春

  スリットがこぼす脚線香港初夏

  句碑も冷ゆるかわが渾身の句彫みつ
