Lone red maple leaf
In sea of bright green leaves. Leaps
To earth: 切腹

Red maples dance: I
Approach slowly and listen
To the wind. Music
For the maples as
I join in their dance. My arms
Raised to them. Their leaves
Shining red: flutter.
Wind stills. I bow to these most
Perfect of partners.
Line of fire: maples
Ignite the sky and burn the
Horizon. Night falls.
