we stand still
hands together
falling petals
a shadow
of that summer kiss
crescent moon
autumn dawn
the night that has passed
stays in me
first snow
on a blade of grass
her three words

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
