“Evening darkens until”

by Anonymous

translated from the Japanese by Kenneth Rexroth

Evening darkens until
I can no longer see the path
Still I find my way home
My horse has gone this way before.

Yu¯yami wa
Michi mo miendo
Furusato wa
Moto koshi koma ni
Makasete zo kuru

 

Kenneth Rexroth continues. (1977)
