Haiku by Minko Tanev

 

horses to the river

the horizon is racing

in endless gallop

 

川へ駆ける馬

地平線が競争している

終わりのないギャロップで

 

neon night

under the Maritsa bridge

shadows float away

 

ネオンナイト

マリツァ橋の下

影が浮かんで離れて行く

 

Roman stadium
a procession of seagulls
in the night sky

 

ローマの競技場

カモメの行列

夜空に

 

darkly boulevards
shadows are flying
in tunnels from light

 

暗い大通り

影が飛んでいる

光のトンネルの中

 

meteorites
mythical messages
from Atlantis

 

隕石

アトランティスからの神話上のメッセージ

 

snow fields

in the windows of the train

sun from opal

 

雪原

電車の窓に

オパールの太陽 

 

a rainbow –
the bridge of lovers
on the horizon

 

虹　ー

恋人の橋

地平線に

 

colorful tops
in the spectrum of the sun
Balkan Peninsula

 

カラフルな頂

太陽のスペクトルで

バルカン半島

 

full moon

my first sigh

on the Milky Way

 

満月

私の最初のため息

天の川に

 

spring sacraments

almonds and peaches

in a colorful kiss

 

春の神聖な儀式

アーモンドと桃

カラフルなキスで
