Rainfall on an Autumn Day
In the rainfall, insects make musical sounds aloud
with single-minded concentration and detachment.
Ah, how absorbed they are in singing so distinctly and clearly,
reminding me of what I have begun to lose.

The Harvest Moon shines,
glittering in every drop
of the evening dew
