the bedbugs
scatter as I clean,
parents and child

Issa’s haiku
two hundred years ago’
all about bedbugs
(Issa is highly regarded as one of the three or four great masters of Japanese haiku. He is widely loved for his poems, honoring either children or animals, by turns playful or poignant.)
What does this picture have to do with bedbugs? Nothing. I just like the picture! 🥳
