stone lantern
overgrown with weeds
a cat climbs on
草茂る石燈籠に猫のぼり
early autumn cool
quietly living life
butterflies mate
新涼のいのちしづかに蝶交む
stone lantern
overgrown with weeds
a cat climbs on
草茂る石燈籠に猫のぼり
early autumn cool
quietly living life
butterflies mate
新涼のいのちしづかに蝶交む
in the light
of the cold moon the darkness
of distant stars
寒月のひかりにとほき星の闇 松村蒼石
