Haiku by Evica Kraljić

 

on my palm

a sunbeam melts

fear

 

手のひらに

太陽光線が溶ける

恐怖

 

through my hands

sliding waterfalls –

reflection of silence

 

私の手を通して

滑り落ちる滝－

沈黙の映像

 

bees diving

in the flowers of gourds –

nightfall soon

 

ミツバチが急降下

ひょうたんの花の中に－

まもなく日暮れ

 

midday-

a boy and a cloud

running down the road

 

真昼－

少年と雲が道を駆け下りる

 

small stream –

on the girl’s face

dancing shadows

 

小さな流れ－

女の子の顔に

踊っている影

 

grassland –

a team of nice horses

and clouds

 

草原－

素敵な馬の一群と雲々

 

an old photo –

my grandmother’s

pale smile

 

古い写真－

私の祖母の淡い笑顔

 

gasping day –

the wind throwing shadows

over the roofs

 

息の止まるような日－

影を投げる風

屋根の上に

 

muddy puddle-

the pigs taking a bath

before sleep

 

泥の水たまり－

水浴びしているブタ

寝る前に

 

flight of a butterfly –

a cricket on old barn

chirping since yesterday

 

蝶の飛行－

古い納屋のコオロギ

昨日から鳴いている
