    I love the occasional high register word in haiku. I have a couple up my sleeve too. :-)

    "ascension" is a wonderfully mellifluous choice!

    Your haiku is then beautifully 'grounded' with naming the type of fly:

    ascension—
    sunlight through the wings
    of the shad fly

    —MARIANNE PAUL

    The shad fly is deeply embedded in culture and a very haiku subject due to its fleeting transience akin to cherry blossom.

    "The name shadfly is from the Atlantic fish the shad, which runs up American East Coast rivers at the same time as many mayflies emerge."
    Wikipedia

    warm regards,
