su ki da

lonliness and clouds,
melancholy light,
mutes my tired heart.
somewhere nearby,
the sound of water,
a stream towards the sea,
in the evening sky,
a few crows..
the 'hinagiku' in my hand
i plucked for you,
have withered..
you didn't come.
its a long walk back.
i lie down on the wet grass,
a cicada singing.
i know that song.
i softly hum to myself.
su ki da..
su ki da..
