For Jumei
the wind-chime of the season you seem about to come
anta ga kite kuresō na koro no fūrin

A poem headed "for Jumei." Just about the time you seem likely to come at last, the wind-chime rings. Its sound becomes the very lift of a waiting heart. The nearness of the familiar "you" (anta) is warm.
