no wind at all Poem by Nozawa Bonchō

no wind at all

Rating: 5.0

kiri no ki no
kaze ni kamawanu
ochiba kana

When no wind at all
disturbs the kiri tree—
the leaves that fall!

From the paulownia
without a breath of wind-
falling leaves

See ... the heavy leaf
on the silent windless day ...
falls of its own will
