Haiku Poem



regular harbor entry
very bad smell dying fish
water black as night


A regular arrival to the harbor. All of a sudden a terrible smell and the bodies of dying fish everywhere. The water is black as if it is night but it is still daytime.




船戻る魚の腐敗黒い海

ふね もどる さかな の ふはい くろい うみ



いつものように入港すると、突然、悪臭がします。死んだ魚が海面に浮かんでいるのです。まだ昼なのに、海の色は、まるで夜のように真っ黒です。



– Jim Woodhull
– Japanese by Nakamura Michiko
