Kono Bairei 幸野 楳嶺, 1844-1895
Tanka for the Year of the Serpent
The serpent, the snake,
sheds its skin, scales bright-shining
hugs close to the earth.
From earth its wisdom, its strength,
healer, teacher, counselor.

La serpiente, la culebra
arroja la piel, escamas brillando
se aferra a la tierra.
De la tierra su saber, su fuerza,
curandera, maestra, consejera.
