World Haiku Series 2020 (65) Haiku by Mirela Brăilean

first light rain -
autumn colors trickle down 
out the window

最初の小雨
秋の色が滴り落ちる
窓の外に
 
waiting room -
a shooting star
at the window      

待合室
流れ星
窓際に
 
buds of peonies -
time for breastfeeding
her newborn baby   

牡丹のつぼみ
母乳育児の時間
彼女の生まれたばかりの赤ちゃん
 
to leave
something behind -
a snail's trail

去る
後に何かを残して
蝸牛の道
  
evening prayer -
with the tight wings
a dead butterfly

夕方の祈り
ぴんと張った翼で
死んだ蝶
 
dandelion tea –
the more bitter taste 
of this spring

たんぽぽ茶
いつもより苦い味
この春の
 
my turn
to wear dad’s shoes
refugee camp

私の番
父さんの靴を履く
難民キャンプ
 
fading lotus —
more and more stars
in the pond

色あせた蓮
ますます多くの星
池に
 
campfire -
a spark at a time jumping
in the Big Dipper

キャンプファイヤー
一度にジャンプする火花
北斗七星に
