woodpecker

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


light snow -
a woodpecker hammers
in the silence





. woodpecker, kitsutsuki 啄木鳥 　


basically a kigo for all autumn, but these days I hear him every morning when I open the window.
And today, in the silence of freshly fallen snow, the sound was most eerie in the valley !

neve leggera -
il martello di un picchio
nel silenzio
