Holding up the moon
earth parades its better half
slicing through the dark
Tag: life
Impermissible
Waiting

Sat plump and pompous
pillow clouds over grasslands
chicken on her eggs
Veiled

My storehouse still stands
blood orange alights the sky
a world in between
This post is my tribute to one of the first haiku I came across, by Mizuta Masahide. Because Masahide wrote in Japanese, there’re multiple translations of this particular piece. Here’s the one that inspired me:
my storehouse burned down
now nothing stands between me
and the moon above
~Mizuta Masahide
