Nobody to watch –
among yellow melons
the moon is missing

harvest time -
only the moon's shadow
on a melon stalk

With all its seeds
the slice of water melon
is laughing at me

Country road–
the crunch of carts
laden with melons

Moon in gloom -
the melons lights up
the thief’s way

Melon thieves -
just this night the guard
would be drunk

Drizzle -
among the striped melons
the old dog…
