Parting moon
Clear and austere stands the embracing air;
trees
stretch their bronze-gold branches,
wine
winds purple chains around the walls,
prematurely
falling leaves
rustle
on the narrow path.
Sweetly
suffused by apples’ scent,
so
rich and ripe this summer's end,
shining
like a last bouquet of flowers,
announcing
early autumn days.
The
wounds of life are burning,
no
herb can ever heal.
Hard
strikes the hand of death,
but lays to rest
a tired man.
Sombre
behind the treetops
fades
the last afterglow.
Life’s burden, it
weighs heavily;
it
almost seems to me
it's even easier to die,
finally.
