When last time in Helsinki I took the metro from Siltasaari downd to Ruoholahti. When rised up from The Ruoholahti Station of the Metro, I found a group of parked bicycles, bright colored. & a sunny day.
menopause --
the bicycles
appealing to ride
I checked with my wife the word "menopause" as a kigo, - An autumn, September, perhaps October, she said.
- And the males got also those, she said.
I looked my bicycle; waiting for me in slight drizzle.
mayday!
Original Ezra Pound's 1913 poem "In a Station of the Metro":
The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.

Brilliant idea, Tikkis. And a fine picture.
@ Bill: Of course we are not authorized, but some of us are affected. Indirectly ;-)
Best wishes
