from robin d. gill's fantastic Rise, Ye Sea Slugs!, a compilation of 1,000 Japanese Haiku on Sea Slugs
because sea slug
has no eyes, the poets
write about them
(eyeless especially seaslug's eyes haiku-in often see)
The Turtle's Translation of a Translation
A sea slug's eyes open
only in Haiku. Slugs
are blind in the water.
