Rating: 4.9


Like a dying fly

Under the midsummer sun

I'm writing jisei



Ήλιος θερινός

Σαν μύγα που πεθαίνει

Γράφω τζισέι

Didn't Basho say that every poem was like his death poem? The fly's slow, clumsy movements portend death. This is what one notices in the summer scene, being sensitized by one's own encroaching death.

A poignant and powerful write. We can see the inevitability of death in this wonderful poem. Great imagery.
