言の葉に包まれてコミュのthe door to the imagination

小さな小箱が届きました
私の大好きな俳句の先生から
中には。。。。朴の葉っぱで出来たお皿が3枚大切にレ-スの縁取りのガ-ゼのハンカチ-フ包まれて入っていました。
40年も昔のギフトだったそうです。そして先生の昔六本木で開いていたオ-トクチュ-ルのお店の名前のはいったウスバカゲロウの羽のような手漉き和紙も
不思議な box

A door to the imagination

A package came by mail
I opened the small pink box
several white handckerchifs edged with pink lace
wapping a pair of dishes
in shape of large leaves
I found a letter in the box
from my haiku master Kiyoe

" I send you these dishes
I got them 40 years ago
I never had a chance to use them
They had been lonely
Please use them
the dishes will be happy"

I put them on a table
looking over the leaves
the old black leaves came a live

A deep green forest appear in my mind
