A flock of geese passes over the ginkgo tree. A yellow leaf falls and settles on the grass.

Shimmer

When the wind blew, a few yellow ginkgo leaves floated on the reservoir's surface, spinning round and round.

Beyond

I remember an evening when ginkgo leaves, having struck the glass window outside the apartment balcony, clung to it in the wind and then fell.

Ridgeline

I looked up following the cry of wild geese, and there was the sky resting where the leaves had fallen.

Looking at the spot where a fallen leaf used to be, the sky has come down just enough to fill that empty space.

The wind gently pushes the door and passes by. I only moved my ear to that breeze.

Breeze

The moment I looked up between the apartment buildings, I saw a flock of wild geese, tiny as dots in the sky. Right beside me, a ginkgo leaf was sitting on the bench.

Alight

The ginkgo leaves seemed to be sitting on the bench, watching me. Only then did I stop in my tracks.
