再会の 友と筆持つ 絵のクラス 久々に 恩師たづねる 春の午後 死者送る ラッパ高らか 霞空 再会や みんなの笑顔 咲く椿抱きしめる 白き包帯 癌の友

Together with my friend At reunion I paint In an art class
After a long interval I visited my teacher In a spring afternoon With Ringling trumpet Sent the dead sprint To the foggy spring sky At reunion Everyone smiles Camellias bloom
A Ikebana Brought smiles To the Home
On a beautiful spring day I visit sick friends One after another I hug My cancer friend Covered with white bandage
Without word I hug my friend Who lost her husband In spring rain Katie Arimura
