refugee tent --
a girl calls a butterfly
by her mom’s name

They Gave Us Life: Celebrating Mothers, Fathers & Others in Haiku

Chinese Translation (Traditional)
難民帳篷 --
一位女孩用媽媽的名字
呼喚一隻蝴蝶

Chinese Translation (Simplified)
难民帐篷 --
一位女孩用妈妈的名字
呼唤一只蝴蝶

 "L1 establishes the setting and sociopolitical context while the unexpected yet emotionally poignant last line lifts the haiku out of the ordinary. And the symbolically rich image of a flitting butterfly could offer two different readings".
