There's nothing too small to build a poem from. I love your metaphor here, though every time I read the second line I want to leave out the "in" -- it only changes the meaning slightly but it emphasises the sonics a little more. Of course, that's possibly just in my head

basho and others, when there haiku are translated often use less or more.
