pilgrimage's child


David’s English
duckweed--
rescuing a fish scooped up
with a little sedge hat

一茶
.浮草や魚すくふたる小菅笠
ukikusa ya uo sukuutaru ko suge-gasa

by Issa year unknown.

??reasoning
1, duckweed is floating weed that has no settled place.
2, a fish scooping is childish play.
3, little sedge hat should be wore by child, because of being little.

!! Jumping
1, no settled place is beggar who is similar to pilgrimage.
2 a little sedge hat is pilgrimage’s child.
3, not adult but child could scoop fish with hat.

sakuo renku
遍路の子供
魚に夢中

forgetting himself with fish
