RE: Mizu No Oto - Every Image Has Its Haiku - Edition #23 (English)

I put this in the wrong place. As they used to say in my Brooklyn neighborhood when I was growing up: "Oy vey!"


I'm voting for @amigoponc. A couple of reasons: The language is compelling. Every word carries weight and together they deliver a punch. But the most persuasive reason is the way she uses the haiku, and sunset, as representations of an apocalypse. Sunset marks the end of a single day for all of us. It's a kind of temporal apocalypse we experience together. @amigoponc reflects on the end of settled times in her country. What will tomorrow bring? What will sunrise reveal?
You see, this little haiku had a really big impact on me.
