00:00 - A. Hashin

No sky
no earth - but still
snowflakes fall

02:20 - B. Basho, Matsuo. (1644-1694)

Clouds appear
and bring to men a chance to rest
from looking at the moon.

04:43 - C. Akutagawa, Ryunosuke. (1892-1927)

Green frog,
Is your body also
freshly painted?

06:52 - D. Issa. (1762-1826)

A giant firefly:
that way, this way, that way, this -
and it passes by.

08:40 - E. Michael R. Collings

Silence - a strangled
Telephone has forgotten
That it should ring
