Furu ike ya

kawazu tobikomu

mizu no oto

 

Old pond

frogs jumped in

sound of water.

– Translated by Lafcadio Hearn

 

A soft ploop casting ripples in still water: linden blossom, pond moss, vetiver root, squished mushroom caps, damp soil, honeywort, purple flame iris petals, and creeping jenny.
