Nature
The Two Rains
From Pictures of the Floating World (1919): Planes of Personality
Nature
Spring Rain
TINKLING of ankle bracelets.
Dull striking
Of jade and sardonyx
From whirling ends of jointed circlets.
Summer Rain
CLASHING of bronze bucklers,
Screaming of horses.
Red plumes of head-trappings
Flashing above spears.
