Haiku by Carmela Marino
warm autumn
not even birds
have a goal
caldo autunnale
nemmeno gli uccelli
hanno una meta
暖かい秋
鳥でさえ目的地を持たない
day of October
an off-season
flowering tree
giorno di ottobre
un albero fiorito
fuori stagione
10月の日
花の咲く木にはオフシーズン
autumn flower
the pollinated head
of a bee
fiore d’autunno
la testa impollinata
di un’ape
秋の花
蜂の受粉した頭
summer drought
the flower painted by my son
hasn’t withered
siccità estiva
non è sfiorito il fiore
dipinto da mio figlio
夏の干ばつ
息子が描いた花は枯れていない
landslide
memories of childhood
wiped out
frana fangosa
i ricordi d’infanzia
spazzati via
土砂崩れ
子供の頃の思い出が一掃された
summer wood
only in my dream
a firefly sheds light
bosco estivo
solo nel mio sogno
fa luce una lucciola
夏の森
夢の中にだけ蛍が光を放つ
autumn rain
the light of a lamppost
steals the night
pioggia autunnale
la luce di un lampione
ruba la notte
秋雨
街灯柱の光が夜を独り占めする
autumn wind
a plastic bag
covers the stars
vento d’autunno
un sacchetto di plastica
copre le stelle
秋風
ビニール袋が星を覆う
suffering from cancer
not even a swallow
in the sky
ammalata di cancro
nemmeno una rondine
nel mio cielo
癌に苦しんでいる
ツバメでさえ空にいない
smog
I don’t remember the scent
of cherry blossoms
smog
non ricordo il profumo
dei fiori di ciliegio
スモッグ
桜の花の香りは思い出せない
