buzz from the crown:
bramble flowers tremble
under the bees

キイチゴの花が震える
ミツバチの下で
under the hoe
pebbles resounding
in the garden soil

小石が鳴り響く
庭の土に
heat in the air
the voice of the quail returns
liveliness to the field
空気中の熱
ウズラの声が戻ってくる
野原の活気
pretty hairdresser
touches me gently
by her big breasts
可愛い美容師
優しく触れる
彼女の大きな胸の近く
brakes squealing
deer shadows too
quickly cross the road
ブレーキのきしむ音
鹿の影も
急いで道を渡る
her shadow
sinks into mine-
the taste of a kiss
彼女の影
私に崩れ落ちるー
キスの味
summer shower:
it has woken up
a mill wheel too
夏のにわか雨：
目覚めさせる
水車も
