***
the end of the book is like
the beak of a silent crane
bathing in autumn silence
***
birds flock to my garden
spring comes to my garden
***
Crunch underfoot
Crunch inside the chest
Heart trembles inaudibly
Rain in the heart goes invisibly
***
autumn keys are scattered
across the field
everything is calm
***
feet fidget before stepping
on a mine
