Curio No. 37

 

 

Uses the Japanese Hiro Joshi scale exclusively--essentially natural minor with no 4th or 7th degree. 


 


A thousand thoughts that trouble me
dissolving into sadness
as 1 gaze upon the moon—
but not to me alone
does autumn finally come

tsuki mireba
chiji ni mono koso
kanashi kere
waga mi hitorsu no
aki ni wa araƱe do

AI-generated version in Japanese. Since I don't speak Japanese I can't attest to its accuracy.
