Analysis of Haiku (41-45)
41
the sanctuary
there reverberates the song:
Johnny, wood and green
42
the lids the lash curls
waking up, his spangled eyes
the floret blue bulbs
43
solitary soul,
an erstwhile easy weeper,
now he lives with her
44
gone on flitting wings
from birth to scythe in seconds,
colors' quiet tiers
45
errands' blistered feet
soaking in the elm-banked stream,
sore-legged Mercury
