<TANKA>-6
1) Fabian!
What will you do?
After attaining enlightenment
being beaten by the realities of life
just to pursue survival
# Fabian Fucan ( http://japanese-religions.jp/publications/assets/JR33_a_Schrimpf.pdf)
2) An orphan:
trifled with
by
those in power
failed to express
self-assertion
3) On the
ume blossoms in bloom-:
feeling the footsteps
of our predecessors
keeping to ourselves
those who passed
away for our motherland
(Ume=Japanese plum)
4) In the southern
land
upon the news of snow falling
the automobiles
in a long snaking queue
rush to the mountains
