translated by: Alenka Zorman
boy with the guitar
over his furrowed cheeks
streams of tears
ギターを持つ少年
しわのある頬に
涙の流れ
two ruby-red leaves
a draft for the carpet
on the autumn soil
真紅色の2枚の葉
カーペットの線画
秋の土の上
October rain –
an acacia shoot
in the shelter of a leaf
十月の雨
アカシアの新芽
葉の隠れ場に
May breeze –
spots of light jump
across the forest path
五月のそよ風
光が点々と跳ぶ
森の小道を渡って
just after the rain
fleecy clouds wave
on the village road
雨の直後
ふわふわした雲が揺れ動く
村の道を
squeaky key –
the cold is blowing
from the inside
きしむキー
寒さが吹きつけている
内側から
a spider web
from trunk to trunk –
a leaf on the dryer
蜘蛛の巣
幹から幹へ
乾燥機の葉
alone on the path –
a falling leaf rustles
past the branches
道に一人
落ち葉がざわめく
枝を通り過ぎながら
end of October –
cold in the old pear tree
is setting fire
十月末
古い梨の木で寒い
火をつけている
trees sunken
into the soft greyness
rainbow on the ground
沈んだ木
やわらかい灰色の中へ
地上に虹
