Osouji

At the side of the house,
Garden pebbles underfoot,
The wet bamboo,
Been inside all the day,
Deep cleaning room to room,
The new year's soon.

Moving furniture,
Wiping baseboards,
The radio on,
And seeing things,
That have been hid,
And considering them.

The sky smiling,
The sky smiling.

Flip the shikibuton,
That I got from Phil,
And the heavy duvet,
When you make the bed,
And I make it again,
It makes me smile.

I like doing this,
The dust can dance,
Again and again,
And I take a shower,
Just before bed,
Hear the rain on the street.

Falling asleep at night,
Falling asleep at night.
