Santōka Alarm
日本語EN

this and that to eat, and a whole day of wind

arekore taberu mono wa atte kaze no ichinichi

1932–1934 · At the Gochū hermitage
Sōmokutō · One Man Within (Gochū hitori)

Notes

Today there is this and that to eat, and that alone is enough for a day the wind blows clean through. In a life that keeps no reckoning of tomorrow's store, the security of a day with food in it runs especially deep.
