On the hydrangeas

the weight of the morning sun

the evening sun


---Otsuyu

hummingbird
in a wide August field

This haiku is a memory of the time my mother's ashes were spread over the ocean. I was at the edge of a field far away inland at that time. It seemed her voice was everywhere and in everything speaking to me in that August field, and it was indescribably free and joyous.
