道替へてみてもさびしや秋の暮 安住 敦
michi kaete mitemo sabishi ya aki no kure
still lonely after selecting
a different road—
autumn dusk
Atsushi Azumi
from “Gendai no Haiku” (Modern Haiku), edited by Shobin Hirai, Kodansha, Tokyo, 1996
Fay’s Note: Atsushi Azumi (1907-1988)
Interesting, Fay. Is this a riff on Basho’s “kono michi ya . . . “? I recently posted versions of that haiku by Basho on my blog at: http://haikudoodle.wordpress.com.
Best, Margaret
