毬(いが)は海を 海胆(うに)は林を夢想して 伊丹啓子
iga wa umi o uni wa Hayashi o musōshite
a burr dreams about the ocean
a sea urchin dreams about woods
Keiko Itami
from Haidan, (Haiku Stage) a monthly haiku magazine, September 2017 Issue, Honami Shoten, Tokyo
Fay’s Note: There is intentional space in the Japanese original. It is a style of her haiku group founded by her father, Mikihiko Itami (1920-2019).
