Stella's shasei (sketch from life) haiku is tightly structured with an emotional undercurrent: "another" in L1 shows the narrator's attitude to the passing of time while the symbolically rich image of the "knotted branch" in the shredder in Ls 2&3 makes this haiku visually and emotionally effective.
