393 58a The stalk / dies — three flowers bloom / in denial
394 58b I can't get / warm — the grief inside / will not allow it
395 58c Muted traffic / going over the bridge — I look / but do not move
396 58d How many days / walking north — I'm exhausted / on the train (to Yamagata; Basho walked north)
397 58dd Basho walked / north to Yamagata — I'm / exhausted on the train

398 59a If I do not go / out — will my life be missing / one day
399 59b One walking, / one on a bike — I sit / in the window
400 59c Plants never thank / me for water — am I / going deaf
401 59d Brown leaves mourn / for new buds bursting — / slink into soil (or: — falling)

402 60a Blackening toe / nail — old age rot slowly / setting in
403 60b I forgot my / towel — now I stand here / shivering
404 60c I grow deaf — / children play louder / as I pass
405 60d Zanates sing / to dying light — couples complain / about their s***
