spring is going,
we cannot know where to –
the anchored boat.

None goes along this way but I,
This autumn eve.

Now being seen off,
now seeing off – the outcome:
autumn in Kiso.

autumn’s sorrow
It is unreasonable to ask my tears
to bear the sorrow of autumn,
as the light changes
the color even of the cinnamon tree in the moon
to red and yellow.

weekly photo challenge: transition
The sprouting grass waiting for spring,
and the grass that begins to wither, were once the same
wild grass of the moor.
Sooner or later
they surely meet with autumn
and end in the season of weariness.

depth of the ravine
Who knows
that in the depth of the ravine
of the mountain of my hidden heart
a firefly of my love is aflame.

Last autumn
The three of us tossed acorns
To the scattering carp.
Now in the cold morning wind off the pond
He and I stand hand in chilling hand.

autumn freckles
Going through the gate,
I am also a wanderer
this twilight in autumn.
