Western Lake View of Mt. Fuji in the Early Evening

* * *

I made a paper lantern,  
in honour of a friend,  
whose life I had earned,  
from beginning to end.

I want to put it out,  
right onto the lake;  
if my actions carry doubt,  
let it be for my sake.

The hills catch what's left,  
of the day's final light;  
the greatest act of theft,  
comes without any fight.
