The concept for this haiku has been in my head for a month, and I started to think about it more when I was feeling displaced.
There’s another double entendre in this one. While kasei is a reading of flowers and stars (花星), kasei is also the word for Mars (火星) and change (化成).
Mai Sekai, or the World As I See It
花星だけ
踊る自由に
回る月

Kasei dake
Odoru jiyuu ni
Mawaru tsuki
***
Only stars and flowers
To dance with liberty and
a revolving moon.
