Days fly and fall
Fast, fast
Only on the surface, rustling
Time is rising,(Le vent se lève !... Il faut tenter de vivre !）
Without leaving anything behind.
10:00
Good bye
The stationary camera
Ms. Grasshopper removed it.
Bread
Freshly baked, excellent.
Yogurt topped with blueberry
With Earl Gray tea.
10:30
The caseworker, Mr. Kikuchi
Discussed the cost of assisted living, the handicapped, and disability,
Severely talked about the amount of money.
Income & Disability
How could I make ends meet.
I got Ms. Moriwaki to assist me to take a shower.
Fresh and clean.
I got her to dry me up, dress me up
Like a big baby.
KP came.
We went to Sanuki Kaikan to see
Three cherry trees
The sky of the courtyard was blue.
Its graciousness
Does not need a witness.
Evening
It's more delicious when sharing with KP
Dried Kinmedai fish
Sashimi was good but dried one is as good.
My maidenly heart was ready to break.
I wish time would flow this way forever.
I mean it.
I'm full.
My heart is full.
Watching the news, I lay down
Next to the happiness
Relishing.
To snore is good.
To yawn is good.
Fast asleep to build the spirit.
In front of Sanuki Kaikan Building
I got a call from Bob.
German Restaurant, Heidelberg
The Brooklyn Museum,
We track back the past and walk into the future
We were ex-husband and ex-wife.
We were closing the book on us finally ... I will tell him.
KP
The humidifier is running
With steam.
Thank you for setting it always.
When you leave ... I am sad.
I'm sleeping, enveloped by steam.
A solitary petal falls.
