Burnt stubble—
the wind disseminating
seeds of grass

Early ploughing—
burying under the soil
the moon’s kernel

Night in the market—
topping the heap of melons
the harvest moon

At the autumn harvest
the reward in kind:
a few golden leaves

The empty field
no creature, no blade of grass ...
only the earth breathing

Unsown field—
the train divides
the loneliness

Late autumn—
a single farmer in the field:
the old scarecrow
