Alone

A small leaf falls far -
The limb of the tallest tree--
Spiralling in wind

How does it handle such death
Separation from life's gift

Author notes

In Japan, a tanka consists of 31 onji, usually patterned as 5-7-5-7-7. There should be two separate divisions, the dominant pattern being 5-7-5 / 7-7, as if the last two lines acted as commentary on a haiku.
