What a strange thing!
to be alive
beneath cherry blossoms.

​-Kobayashi Issa

Come see the cherry trees
of water constellation 
and the round key of the
rapid universe, come
touch the fire of
instantaneous blue, come
before its petals are
consumed.

​-Pablo Neruda

​In the cherry blossom's 
shade there's no such
thing as a stranger.

​-Kobayashi Issa
