Someone came out of the rain
A window closes slowly
Autumn, meditating in the rain
Kazuko Ikpako
Quietly landed on the steps outside the courtyard gate
There was a sigh
Like raindrops under a tree
Gently tap the drowsiness of dusk
Light a lamp
Even though the sky is still shining
There was a faint light
It can pass through thick rain and fog
See the trail back
Someone came out of the rain
Little by little, the rain soaked the eyes
