(Watashi no English-language haiku)
by Genki 元気
Lit up grey around my face
My father's stubble
My smile is wider
Greeting a familiar face
Whose name I forgot
reawakened stress
frosty dawn barely witnessed
the sound of water
encircled craving
one bite leads to another
another plate to wash
Crack!
My belly relaxes
Welcome winds of spring
