ゆるやかに着てひとと遭ふ蛍の夜　　桂　信子

yuruyakani kite hito to au hotaru no yo

            I wear my kimono loose

            to meet him

            firefly night

                                                Nobuko Katsura

from “Haiku-kai” (“Haiku World,” a monthly haiku magazine ,  March 2017 Issue,  Bungaku No Mori, Tokyo

Fay’s Note:   Nobuko Katsura (1914-2004)

Japanese original uses the word ‘hito‘ (a person).   I use ‘him’ in the second line because a poet is a woman,
