Passing Clouds

Grey, bright clouds passing

The morning air cleared by rain

For the nightingale

Even while raining

The clouds come in darker shades

Fresh cherry blossoms

Waxing moon’s sickle

Writing silver on birch trees

Still too cold for bats

Overcast Spring morning

The Rhine bridge throngs with traffic

Crows watching the banks

Closing time

Dog watching the beggar’s place

Buys vodka

It’s so peacefully

Spring flowers cover the ground

Magpies quarrel though
