Analysis of Falling Down
Hanging dew.
Little dragonfly,
Gliding flew.
Night crawlers walk free on the cozy and foggy roads.
The sound of raindrops
On gables.
Crimson and golden leaves:
Wind rattles.
The breeze of early October makes all drunk while blows.
It’s the Twin Peaks season,
Attains too late.
Disappears very soon.
As the passing pumpkin moon.
Like a dream so phenomenal, like a diamond glows.
Melancholic sense grows.
