Summer nightfall
disputes in the hedges
quieten down

letni zmierzch
ucichają dysputy
w żywopłotach

soft flight
matching with the snow
white owl
*
her head bowed
trying to thread the needle
late fall
*
funeral speech
mourners peep at a squirrel
on the tree-top
*
vernal equinox
the latest patch of snow
wanes with the moon
*
summer breeze
rubs the nape of my neck
his chin
