ゆく秋の窓をみがいて過ごしけり　　しなだしん

yuku aki no mado o migaite sugoshikeri

            departing autumn

            I kill time

            by washing windows

                                                            Shin Shinada

from ‘Hayabusa no Mune’(‘Falcon’s Chest’) haiku collection by Shin Shinada, Fusansu-Do, Tokyo 2011
