The Birth of Frankenstein

Little song forSaitō Sanki haiku:

"An autumn nightfall
the skeleton of a huge fish
drawn back by the sea."

I translate the title to my language, catalan. "Drawn back by the sea" is "Arrossegat per la mar" on my island. In Catalonia, they say: "Arrossegat pel mar". The Balearic form is more poetic for me.
