Pathtic Geese: Fallen Leaves: Full Moon
Three Tanka, 1--3
1. pathetic geese though
flew over the moonless sky
it’s a bone-chilling
ah, unbearably cold night
for a homeless wanderer
2. as he walks over
the fallen leaves crickets chirp
and as crickets chirp
gust of west-wind rises to
cut the heart of wanderer
3. December full moon
hanging high in western sky
stay up all night long
facing at east horizon
beckoning glimmer of dawn
