生きてゐる冬の泉を聴くために　　　　杉山久子

ikiteiru fuyu no izumi o kiku tame ni

            I live

            to listen

            the winter spring

                                                            Hisako Sugiyama

from ‘Izumi’ (‘Spring’) haiku collection by Hisako Sugiyama, Furansu-do, Tokyo 2015

Fay’s Note:   Last line may not work well in English.   ‘sprng’ here is not the season between winter and summer, but a place where water comes to the surface from underground.
