Fallen leaves free from trees Run after cars on the road Cold wind on their side

A tiny sparrow Left alone behind the flock With camellias

Ducks in the cold moat Floating with heads under wings Sleeping or thinking?

Pile of amber leaves Ducks out of pond foraging For foraging sake

Narcissi blooming Waiving their claim to spring warmth For beauty in snow

Crow on a street tree No leaves to shield against winds None of my concern

Fallen leaves piling up In the middle of the sidewalk Joined by white tissues

Cellist lives next door His soundproof room not well made He’ll never know it

Sparrows on the roof Thought they were waiting for me Door opened flew away

A sparrow chirping Not a yard off the sidewalk With camellias
