Fireflies

Fireflies' soft green glow
Gleams against his unsheathed blade
Spirits of his past.


Author's note: Just thinking of the OVA, Trust and Betrayal. There was a scene at one point before a battle where the fireflies gently brushed against (I believe) Kenshin's blade. One common symbolism of fireflies is that they are spirits of the dead. So... i thought I'd put out a little haiku for it. I hope you like!

Sake

Quick P.S. I pronounce the word "fireflies" with two syllables. That's how I say it. (Fire-flies, not Fi-er-flies) So, the pattern IS 5-7-5 when I say it. Just so no one stresses over that detail. Hehe!
