fall is death’s season—
irrevocable reason—
memento mori.
veiled—even shrouded,
hidden beneath dusty old cloth—
death still will not hide.

Seasonal and clever this combination of the two is a dark dive into life and death. Nicely done Tristan it is quite a feat to find a word with so many syllables in a senryu. Loved it
