Shunzei’s Daughter

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.

photo 101: triumph & contrast

How can I blame the cherry blossoms

for rejecting this floating world

and drifting away as the wind calls them?
