waiting and drinking
as the night begins to fall
in a summer blue

In the Micro-World of the Poem
When we zoom into the spaces between the letters of this summer Haiku, we discover a previously unknown micro-world.
Between “w” and “a” in “waiting”:
microscopic beads of sweat, testifying to the summer heat
Between “t” and “e” in “the”:
a tiny lemon butterfly fluttering in the last sunlight
At the end of “waiting”:
the finest dust particles dancing in the warm evening light
Between “u” and “n” in “and”:
a miniaturized wine glass catching the glow of the setting sun
Between “t” and “r” in “drinking”:
tiny droplets of water glistening on a blade of grass
Between “N” and “a” in “night”:
a microscopic piece of night sky, slowly darkening
Between “h” and “e” in “falls”:
a single, delicate leaf gently floating to the ground
Between “s” and “o” in “summer blue”:
a tiny dot of color shifting from azure to indigo
Between “b” and “l”:
the microscopic spark of a firefly
At the end of “blue”:
a miniaturized crescent moon just rising on the horizon
This hidden world exists between the letters; not everyone sees it.
