The Sound of Folding an Umbrella

Breeze, Ebb One persimmon still hangs at the branch tip. At the end of the alley, someone shrugs their shoulders, and I hear the sound of folding an umbrella.

Outside the window, low down, a persimmon branch sways in the wind. Below it, a fallen persimmon still lies as it was.

At the sound of folding umbrellas, I looked outside and saw the sun had already come out before the raindrops had even dried. I had been sitting on the windowsill in the meantime.

I saw the laundry hanging outside fold once in the wind. Even on cloudy days, wet things dry.

Shimmer

I remember the yard where we waited for a persimmon to fall. By now, the black leaves have already drifted far away on the water.
