Haiku by Lilia Racheva Dencheva

 

obsession,

purple flower

whispers on the window

 

願望、

紫の花

窓にささやく

 

thirst –

roots touch

the pavement

 

渇き–

根が触れる

舗装に

 

mandala

chestnuts whispers

in the park

 

マンダラ

栗がささやく

公園で

 

spring time…

peonies filling

the air

 

春…

シャクヤクがいっぱいに占めている

あたり一面を

 

a veranda,

heart of lavender

under the wooden floor

 

ベランダ、

ラベンダーの中心

木の床の下

 

once again the magnolia

draws with pink

clouds … on the road

 

もう一度マグノリア

ピンクで描く

雲を…道路の上に

 

wings draw

letters on the ground,

spirit of Chado

 

翼が描く

地面に文字を、

茶道の精神

 

leaf fall,

unfinished haiku,

hole on the road.

 

落葉、

未完成の俳句、

道路の穴。

 

dust off the hoofs,

riders running with

the winds.

 

ひづめのほこり、

騎手が走っている

風とともに。

 

wandering clouds

in the eyes of a colt,

muzzle of wind

 

さまよっている雲

雄の子ウマの目には、

風の鼻づら

 

— Translated by Hidenori Hiruta
