*and it rolls head over heels
the heart
over the puffy autumn leaves
where a squirrel hops
I pull the wire fence
with my hands
it runs to and fro
the little mischievous one
a child laughs because it has a tail
I even forgot how I started to cry*
......................................................
**leaves lay under the snow
like mummified love letters
some of them freezing
over the acorns not picked yet
while the red monster hibernates
I will eat many seeds this winter
in order to toughen my roots
to grow branch over branch
in my hollowed willow
next spring I will pass over the fence
where we once kissed
to laugh myself of its tail
till I shall cry**
