Whilst the Leaves


Cool murmur of water through apple-wood
Troughs without number
The whole orchard fills, whilst the leaves
Lend their music to slumber.

Crow

On a bare branch,

a crow has landed:

autumn nightfall.

Love Rain


Don't threaten me with love, baby. Let's just go walking in the rain. ~Billie Holiday
