For today’s inspiration, we will focus on Autumn’s voice (aki no koe), such as rustling leaves, a late emerging cicada, crickets, an unexpected breeze, a crow’s call, etc.

The beauty of autumn is in the leaves, and as they give their way to bare snow covered branches, we still hear them protest as they die.
crunching underfoot
sad sounds emit from crisp leaves
don’t rest me in bags
