Above Basho's summer grasses.

To sleep in the bosom of green,
Lulled by the pulse within my own,
Which originates in the throbbing engines
Of the ships that pass
Through darkened waters
Beyond both window, and consciousness.

And a dissipation of clouds,

Along familiar paths.

Summer arrives.
Linger on, pale blue skies.
