Wide-eyed moon, wolf howls, Season changes to Autumn, Wind brings who knows what.
River demons can't
Drink from abundant water.
Sleepless aridness.
Cherry leaves turned red, The juicy fruit was eaten.
They'll be left to rest.
Salty taste in mouth,
The end of fishing season, Bitterness remains.
Guilt as purple as Maple expecting winter snow To whiten its stains.
Tomtits don't chase mild Wind currents to escape South.
They warm each other.
Faith no more in temple As the blizzard slaps one's face.
Let the candle burn.
Regretful sun-ray,
The grasshopper still wished for Another second.
The hurricane blew To ruin the old wooden home.
The boy held his toy.
Frost on geranium.
Two old souls at the last turn Of their life cycle.
Heavy rains woke up The toad. Stiff limbs pursuing A new hideaway.
The marshes, awkward
In their silence and sorrow, Don't see the rainbow.
A late blackberry Feeds even more delayed bee That lost the beehive.
The summer zenith's
Memoir in the basement: A bag of rice.
Smoked fish, plum wine To remember and respect Autumn equinox.
In the branches, wind
Blows. The weeping willow sings.
Autumn lullaby.
Peaks for the restless Servant of the elements.
Now he needs a rest.
Empty nest is home.
Home for another season.
Ku Gatsu will also pass.
Two koi swim beneath the ice.
They kiss each other.
