drosophilas

are celebrating the new wine

I join them

 

ショウジョウバエ

新しいワインを祝っている

私は彼らに加わる

 

starlings and wasps

confirm together

the ripeness of grapes

 

ムクドリとハチ

一緒に確認する

ブドウの熟度を

 

buzz from the crown:

bramble flowers tremble

under the bees

 

樹冠からのざわめき：

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

 

くわの下

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

 

winds blowing:

spider´s web holds back

a few flies

 

風が吹いている：

クモの巣がいくつかのハエを引き止める
