The sky seen through yellow leaves

Ridgeline, Sunpatch It's an afternoon when the wind takes a rest. The yellow leaves fallen by the window, I too saw the sky through them.

The shadows stretch long between the leaves that have fallen on the windowsill. I closed my eyes for a moment in the shade too.

Alongside

It was an afternoon when sunlight moved along the edge of a teacup on the floor. I recall the moment the cat on the windowsill turned its head.

This afternoon, too, the sky showed through the ginkgo leaves fallen by the campus bench. The gaps that shifted a little with each breeze were so quiet.

Looking out the window, I see a persimmon still hanging red on a dry branch. I was watching it sway slightly each time the wind blew.

I saw a yellow ginkgo leaf spin once in the wind and fall by the roadside, and just before it fell, the sky showed through for a moment. That gap stayed in my memory for quite a while.

Late Frost

Where the autumn sunlight lingers on the window, a yellow ginkgo leaf rests on the desk below. Seeing it, I found myself glancing out the window once more.
