"Why are you crying?"
Oh, a poem of grief from a poet who actually had so much to grieve! Gorgeous and painful.
So glad you used this translation. Lenore’s daughter was my best friend when I was a kid. I knew her and Bill well. She gave me a book on haiku and encouraged my poetry.
I love how much can be said with elegant scarcity.
This short poem says so much. Beautiful!
