Wind’s rush and sea’s roar
Are broken by the skitter
Of a kicked pebble.

Over seaweed fronds
And rivulets in the sand
A shadow hand plays

Bobtails, swallow’s breast,
Old man’s beard frosts the trees –
A white autumn.

Eight in a row
Cormorants and gulls
Stalemate

The pier’s old dome
Rebuilt in a passing cloud –
Starlings flock

A dry leaf
Rustling along behind me
Autumn approaches
