I like seeing this (and I see this in the Kyoshi Takahama haiku). i also like seeing this state as a returning or continuation of the cycle of life. in this case the breaking down of matter into forms that may be easier for other life forms to utilize and in doing so continue the cycle of life. as long as I recognize the matter as "chrysanthemum" something indeed would still remain of it. I like that too. this is what the haiku brings up for me beautifully in these very few words. I like that. aloha.
