Haiku by Djurdja (Đurđa) Vukelić Rožić
a beacon
connecting me with the nest
of the Milky Way
svjetionik
povezuje me s gnijezdom
Mliječne staze
ビーコン
私と天の川の巣をつなぐ

sakura …
tonight among blankets
I fear the frost
rascvala trešnja …
noćas pod dekama
strahujem od mraza
さくら
今夜は毛布の中で
霜が怖い

both motionless
crow on a pole and I
stare at each other
obje nepomične
vrana na stupu i ja
gledamo se
どちらも動かない
ポールのカラスと私
見つめ合う

first day at work
my son sends me the spring view
in his window
prvi radni dan
sin mi šalje snimke
proljetnog prozora

above the sign for sale

long winter –
my dog sniffs at
his own frozen trails
duga zima –
pas njuška svoje
smrznute tragove
長い冬
私の犬が自分の通った凍った道のにおいを嗅ぐ

Cattails – October 2022
remembering his eyes
as I repair the orrery
of my father’s watch
njegove oči
sjećam ih se dok popravljam
sazviježđe očeva sata
彼の目を思い出す
父の時計のオーラリーを修理するとき
