うすうすと稲の花咲く黄泉の道 飯島晴子
usuusu to ine no hana saku yomi no michi
pale… pale…
rice flowers blossoming
on a road in Hades
Haruko Iijima
from “Haiku Dai-Saijiki” (“Comprehensive Haiku Saijiki”), Kadokawa Shoten, Tokyo, 2006
Fay’s Note: Haruko Iijima (1921-2000) ‘ine no hana’ (rice flower) is an autumn kigo
