twilight dawn
the back porch lit
with white cyclamen

folded wheelchair
mother’s shoes too big
to fill

折り畳まれた車椅子
母の靴が大きすぎる
埋めるのに
 
pruned rose bush
winter’s hush
of introspection

the fragrance
of my solitude

沈丁花
香り
私の孤独の
 
supermarket car park…
the breeze bereft
of buskers’ tune

leaf filled birdbath 
junk mail spills
from the letterbox

葉で満たされた水盤
迷惑メールがあふれ出る
レターボックスから
 
wafting incense smoke
I touch the smile
on mother’s face

お香の煙を漂わせる
笑顔に接する
母の顔に

pandemic
a double rainbow
spans my window

パンデミック
二重の虹
私の窓にかかる
 
lengthening days
the blue iris
pauses my steps

長くなる日
青いアイリス
私の歩みを一時停止させる
