Haiku by Toshiaki Tsugoshi
a moon rabbit
facing the solitudinarian
on the blue planet
lamppost with a broken sensor
illuminates the play
without a leading role
pulsating abandoned house
yesterday’s rain
bouncing off the sink
the immutable polar night
only stars show me the time
on the white earth
a long-lived soap bubble
gone silently and alone
into boundless skies
blood moon
three shades of me
proceeding with energy
Children’s Day
carps swimming around
seen from space
hamster on the treadmill
counterparts on the earth
fate
night train
from the deck
to space
summer mountains
start breathing
at dawn
近況について
I was born in Osaka and grew up there until high school. I am now a student at Kyoto University, having just moved to Kyoto this fall.
When I was in high school, I read a sentence that said, “There is no eternity but in a moment“. Since then, I have considered reading haiku as a process of finding eternity in a moment. Perhaps because of this awareness, my haiku is based on the existence of people.
The theme of the earth is a higher level story for me, so it was difficult to depict a kaleidoscope of existence, but it was a good experience for me.
