L'aura del Campo

"By the window" serenade... # [118]

By the window

One star twinkles at twilight as he searches for the one you wished upon — waiting to hear its answer. As the glow slips below the silhouetted branches and the alpenglow slides up cold mountain slopes to the pine-green treeline the cooling breeze whispers names. He listens for yours roaring down the canyon, sprinting from the east, past the landing's window, sunset bound.

         the big star
         sets — the old man sits
         by the window

A serenade - at evening.
A gzaibun - haibunish form.

Or... "the old man dies by the window"
