October 23

autumn of the ancients

falling leaves

the path

October 24

first soba noodles

of the season—

the perpetual sound of slurping

October 25

the crack

of a walnut…

moon rising

October 26

the salmon

swims up stream—

my love returns home

October 27

shimeji mushrooms

on the forest floor—

my brother’s mouth waters
