Birdsong song-of-the-fish

Marshfrog
a lone voice

.               Pii
.               Wii

Tree beetle
Leaf turns red

Duck splashes about
And calls

.               Pii
.               Wii

Fish in a lake in the distance
A rush of water

Sky solidifies
Crystallized puddles

Bird hides itself
Even forrest is dead
Lost sound

.               Pii
.               Wii
