ardent prayer – rugăciunea fierbinte

Beggdelert, North Wales – Anglia.

first snowflakes – premiers flocons

first snowflakes –
in bare branches
silent wind

premiers flocons –
dans les branches dénudées
silence du vent

hunters

in the morning
hunters invade the woods—
from the first shots
leaves begin to fall
in silent prayer
