Haiku by Alex Malley

восеньскі дождж

не раскажаш пра ўсё

і жонцы

autumn rain

can’t tell about everything

even to wife

秋雨や妻にも言えぬ事のあり

(akisame ya tsuma ni mo ie nu koto no ari)

********************************

немаўля ў вазку

пад шоргат лісця

і я бы спаў

baby in a stroller

to the rustle of leaves and I 

would have fallen asleep

乳母車眠りを誘ふ葉のそよぎ

(ubaguruma nemuri o saso-u ha no soyogi)
