a great tempest blows
where does the dried leaf go now
carried by great winds?
2
Brittle leaves race by
tumble in the driving gale
where are they going?
3
The bare tree’s branches
swaying in a fierce cold wind
when will one splinter?
4
It is cold in here
you have let the winter in
please shut the door now
5
windward flew the bird
leeward was a better choice
it flies high no more
i wish to write in
english words only because
latin words are dumb
