a sprinkling 

of dew from the canopy

cicadas cry

散布

天蓋からの露

蝉の鳴き声

intoxicating

the drunken sailor

in full bloom 

酔わせている

酔った船乗り

満開

deep and seductive 

the tantalising fragrance 

of Don Juan 

深くて魅惑的

気をもませる香り

ドンファンの

a butterfly 

on the ivory silk 

lilac fragrance 

~ Cantos
蝶

アイボリーのシルクに

ライラックの香り

moth wings 

raising the silk portière 

summer breeze 

~ Cantos

蛾の羽

シルクのとばりを引き上げる

夏のそよ風

rowboat 

in the quiet evening sea 

seagulls call

~ Cantos

手漕ぎボート

静かな夜の海で

カモメの鳴き声

stirring midnight 

thoughts in rosebud tea 

insomnia 

~ Cantos 

かき混ぜる真夜中

ローズバッドティーの想い

rice field 

a catfish ripples 

the summer moon

水田

ナマズの波紋

夏の月
