The symbolic item rests on the stem of an autumn flowers.
A shell of cicada is a memory of the Summer.
I surprise that my memories of this Summer have already gone to somewhere.
What did I do this Summer?

I always feel difficut to determin the name of this flower.
In french, Japanese "fuyo" and "mukuge" are the same thing.
But in English, "fuyo" is hibiscus and "mukuge" is rose of Sharon.
The French word "ketmie" is origin of arab Khatmi and is almost the same plant
named hibiscus which is the same latin word hibiscus origined to the greek word,
hibiskos. So I call them hibiscus.

A red dragonfly can hardly rest on the slippy iron pipe.
If it manages to cling there, when a train comes, the train wind blow him down.
But it repeat to try to rest on the pipe.

The Sun is setting down over the zelcova trees.
The white wall turns a kind of mirror.
