show the way

鳥の足跡だけが道を示す

waterlilies!

such whiteness

湖のそばの雁！

スイレン！

そんな白さ

ash from the ghat –

in the moonlight, a shadow

crosses the river

川岸の火葬場からの灰 –

月明かりの下で、影が川を渡る

stroke of luck –

lodged in my wallet

a strand of her hair

運の訪れ –

私の財布にあった

彼女の髪の撚り

early morning sun –

a shadow walks

in silence

早朝の太陽　–

影が歩く

無言のまま

midnight

a snail paints

the moonlit canvas

真夜中

カタツムリが色を塗る

月明かりのキャンバス に

a busy ant

loses its way

among my haiku

忙しいアリ

道を失う

私の俳句の中で

long days of rain –

the gurgle of frogs ripen

my little rice field

(credits: winner, smurfit samhain international haiku prize, ireland, 2006)

長い雨の日–

カエルののどを鳴らす音が実らせる

私の小さな田んぼを

leafless tree-

yet the bird flutters

as if was green

葉のない木　–

それでも鳥が羽ばたきする

木が緑であるように
