火を恋ふや独逸腸詰薄く切り　　宮下恵美子

hi o kou ya doitsu chôzume usuku kiri

            yearning for a fire—

            I slice German sausages

            into thin pieces

                                                                        Emiko Miyashita

from “Haiku Dai-Saijiki” (“Comprehensive Haiku Saijiki”), Kadokawa Shoten, Tokyo, 2006

Fay’s Note:  ‘hi o kou’ (yearn for a fire) is a late autumn kigo.
