Gray Season --haiku, some from 1965

In the melting snow,
silent war on the hilltop:
green sprouts are poking.

In a cloudless sky,
all at once, the sun went out!
No...a soaring kite.

A lamp hung in
perennial sadness—
the moon in the willow.

There! In the dead leaves,
one slowly stirs and flutters!
...moth awakening.

Empty beach, black clouds‑‑
and the gull struggles to fly
in its suspension.
