Haiku by Christina Chin
goddess and faeries
on the mooncake gifts
mid-autumn festival
女神と妖精
月餅のプレゼントに
中秋の祭り
rolling round
hay bales till late night
light of harvest moon
ぐるぐる回る
深夜まで干し草の俵
中秋の名月の光
village stores
knead buckwheat noodles
new soba
村の店々
そばをこねる
新そば
the thunder
that follows a lightning
my house shakes
雷
稲妻に続く
私の家が揺れる
bring-in
the crops from the fields
full september moon
持ち込む
畑から作物を
9月の満月
Haiga by Christina Chin
clear vernal morning
the sugary notes
of a rooftop shama
晴れた春の朝
屋上のシキチョウの甘い鳴き声
softly touching…
the mimosa flower
closes
そっと触れる
合歓の花が閉じる
plowing…
a bellow
in the water buffalo song
耕作
水牛の鳴き声に
雄のほえる声
straw hats bob
in the sun…
planting rice
麦わら帽子が日向で上下に動く
田植え
frogs crooning
in the sheltered creek
rain song
蛙が鳴く
保護された小川で
雨の歌
road divider…
the neighbour’s yucca
blooms
道路の分割
隣人のユッカが咲く
deep shade
tiny tots wait
for school bus
深い陰
小さな子供たちが待つ
スクールバスを
prayers for rain…
harvesting catfish
in the shallow pond
雨乞い
取られるナマズ
浅い池で
departing squalls…
calm ocean waves
return to shore
去って行くスコール
穏やかな海の波が海岸に戻る
lingering
fragrance of a civet cat
mango season
居残っている
ジャコウネコの香り
マンゴーの季節
