evening cicada–
a last nearby song
to autumn*

*David G Lanoue, “a translator of Japanese haiku, a teacher of English and world literature, a writer of haiku and ‘haiku novels,'” offers a footnote to this writing … It’s the last night of autumn. Tomorrow winter.
While cutting down the rice,
the little weeds with autumn
sunlight on them.
~Buson (cited: Y Sawa & EM Shiffert, Haiku Master Buson)
head pillowed on arm,
such affection for myself?
and this smoky moon

As I was reviewing old post, these were two WP images and one haiku that were posted in April, 2013
Going through the gate,
I am so a wanderer
this twilight in autumn.
~Buson (Trans: Y Sawa & EM Shiffert, Haiku Master Buson)
compared to last year,
this has been even more loneliness —
autumn evening.
~Buson (Trans: Y Sawa & EM Shiffert, Haiku Master Buson
weariness
deafens
joy’s murmurs
