haiku Dresden, Tokyo
apocalypse heat
i flee from black streets
my wife bathing still
.
piercingly cold
stepping on my dead wife's comb
in the bedroom
Buson (1706-83) composed this while his wife was alive. Hi wife Tomo outlived him by 31 years. Another translation of his 'fictional' haiku:
the piercing cold —
in our bedroom stepping
on my dead wife’s comb
