Haiku by Shigenobu Takayanagi
- They resemble stakes
- gravestones
- standing there in rows
- as though hammered in.
- Ashes are falling
- In a tavern on a hill
- firewood burns up its body.
- A rainbow's body bent backward
- at its summit
- a hanging gallows.
- Growing old
- and lunatic
- in a swamp
- a serpent
- blossoms with a red flower.
- Hear a war drum sound
- and desolately
- on autumn
- become a bruisemark.
- Where sea
- waves surge forward at
- a river's mouth
- sickness is
- in a young bat lying there.
