横田滋氏命終す子たづぬる心境おもひ身じろぎもせず
Mr. Shigeru Yokota
passed away
thinking of his mind
to look for his daughter
I can’t stir…

COVID-19の猖獗しづめそめ生産かへり君は行くらむ
as the pandemic
of COVID-19 begins
subsiding
and productions are restarted–
you will leave here
3.
さみだれの雲にまばゆき君子蘭わが母去りてなほ愛ほしき
Kaffir lily
shining toward the clouds
in rainy season
I’ve loved it still more
since mom passed away
4.
けざやかに山しげりゆき昨日(きぞ)みたぬ蕨けふには青冴え笑まむ
bright, vivid
luxuriant Mountains…
yesterday’s small brackens
today grow green
and smile
※5月中旬、朝の散歩途中に蕨採りをしました。
While morning-walking, I picked up brackens in the middle of May.
5.
玲玲と用水は田にそそがれてエーテルわたる朝に清(すが)しき
ringing
with crystal sounds…
water flows
into paddies on a fresh morning
with the aether
6.
天づたふ日は高くあり鏡田に銀河ちりばめ早苗ことほぐ
through the welkin…
the sun rising high
sets
the galactic stars on the paddy fields
celebrating rice sprouts
7.
鏡田に揺るぎ映りし日輪はわれとかたらふ君のあはれか
Mirror-Paddy
reflects the sun waving subtly
Is it your mind
in a dialogue
between you and me?
8.
別人の君を其処(そ)に見て事をのみ関はりもたずと吾は離(か)れにき
seeing you
as a different person there
I understand all…
not involved with another-you
I leave
9.
同轍を踏むまひと思はざりしも火傷の記憶瞬時回避す
Not thinking of
that I never will step
on the same rut…
let me avoid it instantly
a scar from a burn
10.
マルベリは唐紅(からくれなひ)にしみ小(ち)さき円(つぶ)ら煌めき水無月あくる
Mulberries
dyed in crimson
Rubies
of a fruit twinkling
…June starts
