Today’s Haiku (February 21, 2012)

春燈にひとりの奈落ありて坐す　　　野沢節子

shuntô ni hitori no naraku arite zasu

            an abyss of loneliness

            in the spring light

            I sit

                                                Setsuko Nozawa

from ‘Haiku,’ a monthly haiku magazine, July 2011 Issue, Kadokawa Gakugei Shuppan, Tokyo
