Sing Iroha Uta, your young girl voice
Younger even than the bridge to Shikoku
Where we will travel together
As far as Mount Kōya; two traveling together,
Pilgrims for Kōbō Daishi
Who meditates still in his deep mountain grave.
Sing of the blossoming flowers who scatter tomorrow,
Our world's questions of change.
Sing of the deep mountains of vanity we cross today
Where never shall delude us dreams without depth.
Step with the left foot,
Step with the right foot.
I become ashes with each new step,
To scatter in the morning sky
While you dance in white
With the women of Shikoku.
When the sun is low, we shall cross the bridge,
Two traveling together.
In homage to the great Kûkai, whose words and thoughts I cherish.

Dreams December, dark and dry
Screams the stark September sky.
His book lies open on the window desk,
Where the wind riffles each thin yellow page
And days thinner yet dance a grave burlesque.
He must oblige the cinnamon faces,
Ancestors pleading from an old desk drawer,
Sepia ghosts in seedy, worn laces.
His name wanes first, a whirling swirling wave
In the womb of the salubrious sea,
Washed at long last in her hallowed nave.
Recalls him not warm July
Nor will May. Nor will I.

Kûkai would have been proud.
