The dry goods store on the corner, Misuzu Kaneko
The dry goods store on the corner, 
Salt bales, 
The sun shines brightly 
Already slanting.
The second empty house 
empty bales, 
abandoned dog rolls 
straggling.
The third liquor store 
charcoal bales, 
a horse from the mountains 
now a manger.
From the shadow of the 
sign of the fourth bookstore, 
I was 
gazing at it.
