牛ののねむり馬のねむりに氷柱育つ　　村上鞆彦

ushi no nemuri uma no nemuri ni tsurara sodatsu

            cows’ sleep

            and horses’ sleep

            icicles grow

                                                Tomohiko Murakami

from “Chijitsu no Kishi” (Shore on Slow Day), haiku collection of Tomohiko Murakami, Furansudo, Tokyo 2015
