I have a problem with 12 across.Clue is: This country is back after having an illness that's just for starters.5 letters. I have H?I?U.The answer must be HAIKU.I understand the parsing, but how does the clue say anything about the answer being a word for a Japanese poem? Or have I got it totally wrong? Any help appreciated

The whole clue is a haiku, with 17 syllables - This country is back after having an illness that's just for starters It's an "&lit" ("and literally so"), where the clue as a whole functions as the definition & wordplay
