the under leaves of the oak
make whispering sounds
and where are they off to,

dipped in red?
A grove
of bushes dipped in red?
Autumn leaves.

I thought I was going visiting
but the person has come here

My own shadow
trodden on in the shadows —

together…yet, apart
Long long ago, my mother’s tender care,
eagerly I think of it.
Held close within my mother’s clothing
there was a different kind of springtime.
