My solar-powered prayer wheel,
It spreads with zeal good wishes round,
good wishes with its gentle sound,
enhancing all the joy I feel.
It spreads with zeal good wishes round,
My solar-powered prayer wheel.

The white of Pensacola sand,
New-fallen snow, it was so like
When on the beach I'd take a hike.
But, now the beach is built on land.
New-fallen snow, it was so like,
The white of Pensacola sand.

This wintry, frost-filled, chilling air,
It has a sunny set of tricks
that I would never try to fix.
Refrigerated fair and square,
It has a sunny set of tricks,
This wintry, frost-filled, chilling air.

Love before which all other loves do pall:
Love born from butternut squash,
The tastiest love of all.

さびかんをうてばふるさとまつしのね。
(錆缶を打てば故郷祭りの音
Sabikan wo uteba, furusato matsuri no ne)
櫛渕 正
[Tadashi Kushibuchi: Written around 2017]
Festival Sounding!
Hometown found...in the hitting
Of a rusted can.

Blue black velvet night, shining bright.
Halloween's full moon, pumpkin-colored,
from my eyes it pulled, stretched by light,
blue black velvet night, shining bright,
distancing itself from my sight.
Once I was with you, there a dullard,
Blue black velvet night, shining bright,
Halloween's full moon, pumpkin-colored.
