World Haiku Series 2019 (183)
Haiku by Valentina Vasilievna Dankova
A razor blade
at the lips like a musical album
the sound of harmony
かみそりの刃
ミュージカルアルバムのように唇で
調和の音
On the table and underneath
creator writes their destiny
to the pot and the vase
テーブルの上と下
クリエイターが彼らの運命を書く
鍋と花瓶に
Growing through the snow
of my memory
crocus poems
雪の中を成長する
私の記憶の
クロッカスの詩
Road to yourself
the way to perfection is so long
in loneliness
自己実現への道
完成までの道のりはとても長い
孤独の中で
Cross, another cross
embroidery of the destiny
for everyone
クロス、別のクロス
運命の刺繍
すべての人のために
A yellowish envelope
the autumn rust
rots the ties
黄色がかった封筒
秋のさび
ネクタイを腐敗させる
The wings on
planes of the maples
ready for soft landing
翼
カエデの飛行機の
ソフトランディングの準備ができています
Arguments grow
in the rich soil
a dispute ahead
論争が増える
豊かな土壌で
先の議論
A smart defect
hidden in the tenets
of accounting
スマートな欠陥
教義に隠されている
会計の
Nobody to take it
thus the berry leaves untouched
in the wilderness
誰もそれを取らない
したがって、ベリーは手付かずのまま
荒野で
— Translated by Alexander Dolin and Hidenori Hiruta
