full moon in august / clover point, water shimmers / sea enfolds secrets.

last days of august / ship pulls out of port / heron watches sideways from the shore

last days of august / ship departs, heron / scoffs "how hackneyed"

side by side in field / preparing their provisions / departure unsaid

grape leaves turn rusty / the fruits are never ready / at once in autumn

November evening / Blue patches scud across the sky / Startling half moon
