Summer fruits

Peace of evening—

two sisters sharing

a nectarine

#

Hot day—

a poor child looking

at the gooseberries on the market stall

#

August moon—

one, two, three . . . yellow leaves fall

from the cherry tree

#

In the cherry tree—

some dirty faces

and full bellies

#

Clear evening—

two children wrangle about

a handful of strawberries

#

Wild cherry—

two copper-colored leaves

fall together

#

Under the ripe cherry tree—

my grandma listens

the bird\'s song

#

Flocks of starlings

picking up cherries—

I applaud at dawn

#

At evening—

above the empty cherry tree

the new moon
