autumn leaves
in overpopulated Tokyo

late fall
my yesterdays fading away
with the toll of the temple bell

autumnal wear
becoming me?
- cheered, nay teased for it

squirrel climbing
higher, higher, higher
“Are you going to the moon?”

two crows
atop a poplar
- winter morning

climax of cries
a swan family takes off
coloured leaves on the lake

Halloween is over
What shall I do with you?
the pumpkin’s toothless smile

washed and dried clothes
make me happy
under autumn sky

scooping up water
- it feels heavy
this first chilly morning

deep kiss
after our swine flu vaccinations
fluttering QE2 tickets

unwilling to don
the layered look

shivering
amid falling leaves
the remains of the Berlin Wall

in the sunset glow
sparkling with gold

one long night
in the time
I have left

view from the train
running fields and mountains
fall’s palette remains

at an open-air spa
the regulars chatting …
autumn moon clear above

rustling wind
an old dog frolics
among whirling dead leaves

red Greek temples
on red hills
autumn rain

templi grechi rossi
sulle colline rosse
la pioggia d'autunno

the sound of chestnuts
falling on the ground
around my head

praying to the god of earth
winter vegetables
far and near

on my house gutter
a nesting dove seems to ask
when her rent is due

ognuno col suo passo
come le foglie

each with his own pace
like the leaves
