アフリカの花々
低い日に染まる夕暮れ
飛び交う蜂

african flowers
in the low sun sunset
darting bees

秋木の枝が
伸びてきてぶつかる
私の帽子に

tree limb
reaches out bangs
my hat

二羽の雀
水たまりで水浴び

hot fall
bluegrass surrounds
tree guardians

without caring
if it's caught half way down
a red leaf

wants to know
who named me

古い葉が
秋の空気に憩う
この静けさ

old leaf
rests on autumn air
this silence

Feeling normal about #HeiHua today as usual. Ft #XieYuchen: collector of priceless antiques, ratty opera houses, and one (1) half feral dubiously socialized racoon. A normal collection for a nice and normal young man

a distant owl:
sometimes signs of life and death
are one sign

the neighbor's gingko leaves
forgot to drop

ある冷えを吹く
チカディーがついばむ

fall blossoms
trumpet a certain chill
chickadees peck
