Youth and the other

There is a me still young

Who dreams but doesn't like to

And controls no more of self

Than than a bee controls

The various flowers that be

In bloom and all around anew

And yet

This old me flys

Too much

Too high

And all around in too much orders

And if not careful

One oe the other

Will seemingly

Die

Thus is the nature

Of a buzz in winter

Drinking, a tanka
