Thank you all for commenting. Since the poet hasn't offered us any backstory, your comments are all the more welcome. For me, it's a perfect example of a traditional haiku. 17 syllables too, if you haven't noticed :-)
It's beautiful. Such close observation.
An unusual ku! Lovely
Most beautiful.
Beautiful!
