Spring! And two girls kiss!

Spring! And two girls kiss!
Well, actually, 
it's more of a glom.

Hot afternoons...

Hot afternoons,
cold mornings and nights. Alone,
I sip lukewarm tea.

Alone with sadness...

Alone with sadness, 
distractions, and tea, he waits
for the blood moon.

Too angry to sleep...

Too angry to sleep,
too sleepy to dance or fight.
Think of Spring flowers? 

Largest mug in house...

Largest mug in house,
now empty of coffee--
birds sing in sunshine.

Midafternoon heat...

Midafternoon heat--
waving feathers hide turkey's
decaying body.

Basho was fifty...

Basho was fifty.
I'm close, but with no sign of 
genius legacy!
