I bought a anthology of Japanese death poems (jisei) last week, compiled and with an introduction by Yoel Hoffmann.
Opened it to a random page and this one is a haiku I want to share with y'all.
Moto no mizu ni
kaeru zo ureshi
kusa no tsuyuThe joy of dewdrops
in the grass as they
turn back into vapor.The poet Koraku died on the eleventh day of the fifth month, 1837 at the age of fifty-seven.
