Poem
Tatsuji Miyoshi
The Adolescent
With eveningA beautiful adolescent returns home
Leaving the monastery gate
He throws a ball
Into a day which easily draws to a close
Throws the ball high into the sky
Playing as he returns home
The sky flows by like a dream
Quieting the colors of people and trees
In the tranquil street
