Haiku



For two dear friends: the last haiku by the Japanese poet Seira (d.1791)




Funabata ya                       Boarding the boat
kutsu nugisuteru                 I slip off my shoes:
mizu no tsuki                       moon in the water.

Thanks so much. The friend for whom I posted this passed over that river peacefully Tuesday night.
