Descriptions
  • English(English)

The year that started with masks is ending with masks.
How often have I left my mask behind and had to go back for it?
Looking back, it’s all my fault.
The past days of heedless living are observing my behavior closely today.
(Poet’s Note)

The poems of things that have not yet come may also be related to the poet’s age, sixty. These poems gauge the future based on the years that the poet has lived and unfold thoughts on the death that does not feel far away. In this way, the poet endures, feeling “bleak like six in the evening in late autumn.“
(Commentary)
