かいつぶり潜る間は何見てる　　　　橋本美代子

kaitsuburi moguru aida wa nani miteru

            a grebe

            what does it look

            when it dives

                                                Miyoko Hashimoto

from ‘Haidan,’ (‘Haiku Stage’) a monthly haiku magazine, December 2016 Issue, Honami Shoten, Tokyo
