Beyond Eye & Mind [Kyōka]
a bare tree,
beside the stream,
sent leaves to the sea:
how far did they get?
"beyond eye & mind."

with a tree's last few leaves
for its Winter nest.

“Gathering Leaves” by Robert Frost [w/ Audio]
Spades take up leaves
No better than spoons,
And bags full of leaves
Are light as balloons.
I make a great noise
Of rustling all day
Like rabbit and deer
Running away.
But the mountains I raise
Elude my embrace,
Flowing over my arms
And into my face.
I may load and unload
Again and again
Till I fill the whole shed,
And what have I then?
Next to nothing for weight,
And since they grew duller
From contact with the earth,
Next to nothing for color.
Next to nothing for use,
But a crop is a crop,
And who's to say where
The harvest shall stop?

Sound & Silence [Haiku]
insects chirp
under autumn skies; the
river runs silent.

Autumn Denial [Haiku]
grass dries & withers,
the trees yellow & thin...
but one vital shrub.

Longanimity [Haiku]
Burnable World [Haiku]
after the harvest,
farmland - dry & ignitable:
distant smoke.
