As it is so hot, I searched for words that will give you cool feelings and found this one. Apparently, it means the mountain stream water continues flowing in until the colorless water looks indigo. The phrase is supposed to produce a cool, refreshing note in this severe heat.

It is so hot that it is almost impossible to wonder when the happy times of life are or think of enjoying refreshing evening breeze. Because of this weather, however, I thought the haiku should be all the more pleasant to my feeling.
