mist and hills
Language: English  after the Irish (Gaelic) 
mist and hills 
run into each other 
of an evening
that is the journey
 home from the other city
my leaving of 
dark mountain behind

fog and grey mist falling low
between the trees
on bright-coloured leaves
falling slow in rays of autumn light
memories of summer set aflame
