  • Yous are hyping it a basic verification system which can't be bought and is handed out for the sake of showing credibility is a good thing

    SHUKYO 秋挙 - Died on the twenty-fifth day of the seventh month, 1826

    Above the fence
    a morning glory stretches
    still unsatisfied.


    "It seems that the morning glory, like man, is never satisfied with its lot, and when it reaches the top of the fence along which it climbs, it keeps shooting upward where there is nothing to support it."

    SHIKO 市貢 - Died on the fourth day of the first month, 1743 at the age of fifty-three

    I vanish—
    in the window,
    snows of Eagle Peak remain.

    Context: A death poem/the man's final poem before death. Shiko lived in the eastern section of Kyoto, in the foothills of the mountain called Washi-ga-mine (lit., Eagle Peak). He died during the height of the snowy season.

    Morphed and Recoloured

    Evanesce into my dreams
    Where I see that which has withered —
    morphed and recoloured
    Abnormal: undefined
    Anchored to another to which I must refine
