enjoying egg after egg
- early morning

パン屋の職人
卵を次から次に楽しむ
早朝

on father’s beads
threaded one – by - one

父の数珠に
一つずつ糸で縫い合わされている
彼の悲しみ

shrinking the world
in three lines

俳句
世界を縮小する
三行で

from the tree
eating plums
full ripe ...

木から
プラムを食べる
完熟

almost full
the moon acts - as
a half revert

ほぼいっぱい
月が振舞う
半分元に戻るように

my voice -
far away from me
at the distance

私の声
私から遠く離れる
遠くに

m o o n l i g h t
nesting on the crevice
of her breasts

月光
彼女の胸の隙間に
ぴったり収まる

seaside ...
salmon assaults
the darkness

海辺
鮭が襲撃する
闇を

pearls -
rolling away
her loneliness

真珠
転がり離す
彼女の孤独を

in softness

ビロードのドレス
彼女の鋭い声を変える
柔らかさで
