Simply Trust
tada tanome hana mo hara-hara ani tori
simply trust:
do not also the petals flutter down,
just like that?

apple blossoms fall
one by one, each on it's own path -
the crow of a rooster

greens, yellows and browns
willow leaves; blind eyes
reaching the ground, branches first
then just by themselves...
too much heat from the summer;
in autumn they also fall
