a mole

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



o to to to to -
a mole falls
from the stone wall





Walking up our little road to get the mail
a sudden movement to the right.
Where the earth ends and the wall begings -
he lost its foothold
and came down about 60 centimeters deep.

Looking puzzled, wiggeling his tail,
first he tried to climb back up
but then took shelter in the nearby grass.




. Mogura モグラ; モグラモチ (土竜; 土龍)
"earth dragon", mole - Maulwurf .





saru suberi -
even monkeys fall
from trees
