A very precise and beautifully developed piece. I like it a lot. Also, I imagine that I hear some echoes of Sakamoto in the, which is always a good thing in my book.

night train the briefly lit lives of others   ( Naviarhaiku 295 )

(I met the authour of the above Haiku, Mark Gilfillan at the Naviar Haiku Festival in London last year when I performed. This weeks haiku jumped out to me and I had an idea straight away of how to transfer the words to sound - a looping train sound and the flicker of sounds - like briefly lit lives - cutting across the track.)

Evening Haze - When Memories Come (Naviarhaiku 296)

evening haze:
when memories come, how distant
are the by gone days

The author ofthe week is Takai Kito, a disciple of Yosa Buson. Despite becoming a professional haikai master in 1771, Kito remained one of Buson’s most trusted disciples until the death of the great master, and was the de facto coordinator of Buson’s haikai group.
