Marie Bortolotto 2016


Sunlit afternoon - 
shadows on the rug
beneath my bare feet

- Haiku by Marie Bortolotto

 Our life here on earth:
to what shall we compare it?
It is not like a rowboat
departing at daybreak,
leaving no trace of us in its wake?

Takaha Shugyo, Haiku Poet, Translated by Michael R. Burch
