without trembling
Akikaze ya hyoro hyoro yama no kageboshi
The autumn wind!
Even the mountain's shadow
Trembles before it.
~ Issa, translated by Lewis Mackenzie
Yes, but this day is still, quiet
but for a scattering of birds
seeking dogwood and hackberry seeds ~
a treat before snow?
Poetry by one trick pony
