Haiku by Ljiljana Dobra
night silence
moon in the valley
jumps over the stream
夜の沈黙
谷の月
流れを飛び越える
from bitter coffee
your radiant look
revived me
苦いコーヒーから
あなたの輝く表情
私を生き返らせた
loyalty of dogs
on the master’s grave
eternal guard
犬の忠誠心
主人のお墓の上に
永遠の守護者
old temple
my memories go back
to great-grandma
古い寺院
私の記憶は戻ります
曾祖母へ
frozen milk
the mother does not breastfeed the child
the camp is dead
冷凍牛乳
母親は子供に母乳を与えない
収容施設は停止
a flock of geese
flies across the sea –
happy return!
雁の群れ
海を越えて飛ぶ –
嬉しい帰還！
frost on the glass
winter draws a fairy tale
about Snow White
ガラスについた霜
冬はおとぎ話を描く
白雪姫について
old closet
full of dusty books
house for sale
古いクローゼット
埃っぽい本がいっぱい
売り家
a mark on the pillow
the smell of cut hay
my dawn
枕に跡がついた
切った干し草の匂い
私の夜明け
from the path
I remove a dead robin –
trampled song
道から
死んだコマドリを取り除く –
踏みにじられた歌
