the world of dew
is just the world of dew
and yet... and yet
Inch by inch --
Little snail
Creep up and up Mt. Fuji
Pissing pissing
Down there
an iris blooming
Don't give up the game
skinny frog!
Issa is here
-haiku by Issa, translated by Nanao Sadaki
----------------------------
When you hear dirty story
wash your ears.
When you see ugly stuff
wash your eyes.
When you get bad thoughts
wash your mind.
and
Keep your feet muddy.
-Nanao
