Paraguas (Umbrella) by Alfredo Boni de la Vega

Poet: | Nationality: | Filmmaker:

A jazzy illustration by Barcelona-based L’esstudi of a haiku by Mexican writer Alfredo Boni de la Vega (1914-1965). I like the video better than the poem itself, which strikes me as being too metaphor-laden to qualify as a real haiku:

Flower of sadness
that opens when tears start falling
from the sky.
