Analysis of For Words That Lack True Meaning (Bussokusekika)
Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
For Words That Have True Meaning (Bussokusekika)
Tender nightingale
Up in your hemlock singing
Your sweet song of joy
Brings peace yet melancholy
To this wanderer searching
For words that lack true meaning

About this poem
Some should stay in the shallow end of the pool…Until they at least learn how to dig paddle…Try not to drown in this one…
