the morning breeze
turns maple leaves to song . . .
alone at the window
I hear how Mother's words
come home have aged

One Man's Maple Moon: Beast and Cherry Blossoms Tanka by Fumi Saito
-
*English Original*
long dead
the bones of a beast
decaying tonight
I am nearly choked
as cherry blossoms are falling
