The poem at the upper side is "Goldfish" by Misuzu Kaneko

The moon exhales that soft,

nostalgic moonlight with every breath.

The flowers exhale that pure,

scented fragrance of flowers with every breath.

The gold fishes exhale that beautiful treasure jade

like the stepchild of that fairy tale* with every breath.

*A younger sister was very kind to a fairy who pretended to be a shabby old woman,After that the child started popping jewels out of her mouth when she spoke.(from Perrault's fairy tale)
