Dear Future Me Dear Future Me
“Dear Future Me” is a series in which Shohei Koyama—poet and owner of JIYUCHO — delivers poetic words in Japanese and English, like letters to his future self that trace the subtleties of everyday life. I hope this becomes a place like your mailbox where postcard poems arrive.
Uncertainty
I know few things
as certain yet untouchable
as the color of the sea
I know few things
as clear yet blurred
as the scent of morning
I know few moments
that move at a truer pace
than the time it takes
for water to boil
