I love this!
on the cusp
between seasons;
neither here... nor there
It reminds me of an old Samurai legend I was told by Maki Nishida (our one time Japan wing of With Words) told me when we visited Sumadera.
I have two versions:
the end of summer
tsukutsuku-bôshi heard
at suma temple
(Suma Temple just outside Kobe)
samurai legend —
tsukutsukubôshi cicadas
at Sumadera
Alan Summers 2002
World Haiku Review Japan Article:
"Vending machines and cicadas"
n.b.
when these cicadas sing it means a special 'inbetween season' at Suma temple, between Autumn and Winter.
all my best,
Alan

Thank you, Alan -- what a small(er) world when these connections are made or felt! :!)
It's nice to have these links amongst haiku. I did like the use of cusp
all my best,

Alan -- I just recalled that a friend who practiced traditional chinese medicine referred to these "between times," usually when approaching a seasonal equinox, were believed to be times of anxiousness, the body sensing the coming change. Perhaps the tsukutsuku-bôshi sensed the change also --
