言の葉の繭かレモンに歯をたつる　　　寺井谷子

koto no ha no mayu ka remon ni ha o tatsuru

is it a word’s cocoon?

my teeth

into a lemon

                                                            Taniko Terai

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

Fay’s Note:  ‘lemon’ is an autumn kigo.
