Apricity a word not many use youve used it here in a haiku so eloquently, iv written some micropoems using this word too. And i love how you’ve written “ ephemeral art” and depth of this haiku and the way it’s articulated is beyond impeccable. Pleasure reading this. Hope holidays treat you well. Congratulations on your win
