Haiku by Carmela Marino
warm autumn
not even birds
have a goal
caldo autunnale
nemmeno gli uccelli
hanno una meta
day of October
an off-season
flowering tree
giorno di ottobre
un albero fiorito
fuori stagione
autumn flower
the pollinated head
of a bee
fiore d’autunno
la testa impollinata
di un’ape
summer drought
the flower painted by my son
hasn’t withered
siccità estiva
non è sfiorito il fiore
dipinto da mio figlio
landslide
memories of childhood
wiped out
frana fangosa
i ricordi d’infanzia
spazzati via
summer wood
only in my dream
a firefly sheds light
bosco estivo
solo nel mio sogno
fa luce una lucciola
autumn rain
the light of a lamppost
steals the night
pioggia autunnale
la luce di un lampione
ruba la notte
autumn wind
a plastic bag
covers the stars
vento d’autunno
un sacchetto di plastica
copre le stelle
suffering from cancer
not even a swallow
in the sky
ammalata di cancro
nemmeno una rondine
nel mio cielo
smog
I don’t remember the scent
of cherry blossoms
smog
non ricordo il profumo
dei fiori di ciliegio
