Haiku #15: When Strangers Meet

For this haiku, the title is what came first. I wanted to write something about two strangers meeting. I imagined them clashing with different personalities, and that’s where in’you, “sun and moon” or “yin and yang,” comes in.

When Strangers Meet

出会う時

At the time we met,

A new light was realized as

The sun and moon crossed
