I like the progression of the song. Really good.

Saitō Sanki (1900 – 1962) was a dentist who discovered his passion for haiku poetry in his mid-thirties, when his colleagues at the hospital in Soto Kanda convinced him to write a haiku for a collection. Later, he became one of the most important exponents of wartime haiku: he was imprisoned in 1940 during the government’s World War II persecution of controversial artists, and was officially forbidden to write until the end of the war.

by: Masaoka Shiki

Regarded as the father of contemporary haiku, Masaoka Shiki was a poet and literary critic during the Meiji period Japan.

He advocated realistic observation by “sketching” (shasei) poems and going out into nature with notebooks, thus abandoning the traditional subjects of haiku of the time. His advice for an aspiring poet was, “Use both imaginary pictures and real ones, but prefer the real ones.”

ARCHIPELAG

Ręka na ręce i głowa na głowie
kapelusz na kapeluszu
noga na nodze i słońce na deszczu
blizna na bliźnie i smutek za smutkiem

wina za winą i kara za karą
dymek za dymkiem, miłość za sterem
ścieżka za ścieżką
rozpacz za szczęściem
gorycz za cukrem dni śródfalowych

kurzu tuman za kurzu tumanem
but na bucie i chustka na chustce
fajka na fajce, książka na książce
cisza zaszyta we wrzasku
wieczność zamknięta w pustce

tors na torsie i tyłek przy tyłku
czoło na czole i łezka na łezce
wino za winem, gniew za gniewem
ulga na uldze i karzeł za karłem
Marks za aniołem i Engels za Marksem
płytka na płytce, klatka po klatce

usta na ustach i oczy na oczach
wargi spękane i wargi wilgotne
skroń przy skroni i nos na nosie
kartka na kartce, sfora za sforą
cień na cieniu, nędza za nędzą

ucho za uchem i palec przy palcu
włosy na włosach i udo przy udzie
szmira za szmirą
kotka przy kotce, suka za suką
rebus za rebusem

metr po metrze i metro za tramwaj
idol na idolu, ikona na ikonie
chwila po chwili i słowo na słowie
kropka po kropce, ranek za rankiem
piwo za piwem, szklanka za szklanką

kwiatek na kwiatku i grosz za groszem
kubek za kubkiem i krzesło za krzesłem
ściana na ścianie i dziw nad dziwami
jesteśmy tu wszyscy
współplemieńcami

***

Hand on hand and head on head hat on hat leg on leg and sun on rain scar on scar and sorrow after sorrow

guilt after guilt and punishment after punishment smoke after smoke, love at the helm path after path despair after happiness bitterness after the sugar of mid‑wave days

dust cloud after dust cloud shoe on shoe and kerchief on kerchief pipe on pipe, book on book silence sewn into the scream eternity locked in emptiness

torso on torso and buttock by buttock forehead on forehead and teardrop on teardrop wine after wine, anger after anger relief on relief and dwarf after dwarf Marx after angel and Engels after Marx tile on tile, frame after frame

lips on lips and eyes on eyes cracked lips and moist lips temple by temple and nose on nose page on page, pack after pack shadow on shadow, misery after misery

ear after ear and finger by finger hair on hair and thigh by thigh trash after trash kitten by kitten, bitch after bitch riddle after riddle

meter by meter and subway for tram idol on idol, icon on icon moment by moment and word on word dot by dot, morning after morning beer after beer, glass after glass

flower on flower and penny after penny cup after cup and chair after chair wall on wall and wonder upon wonders we are all here tribesfolk together
