1.

艶やかな緋色の茱萸にひらめきの残火を見ゆる稲荷社前 

silverberry…

shiny ruby-coloured fruit

I see afterglow

of the radiance in it

in front of Inari Shrine

2.

天われの然にあるらむをゆるさざるか…黙々と狐が原をゆく

Heaven

doesn’t seem to allow

me to be so…

I go on walking through

the fox field in silence

3.

雷神の雨已みしのち四照花は雫淋漓と天へ花咲く

After rain

of the God of Thunder…

While spilling drops

Yamaboushi blooms

into the welkin

※Cornus kousa/ dogwood is called Yamaboushi in Japan.

4.

早稲の青さゆりきらめく夏越月(なごしづき)わが病みもまた御祓へたまへ

June…

early green rice plants

brightening

and wishing for good health

may my illness also improve

5.

三回忌経ちにけるかと君おもへば隣家の猫の奇(く)しき眼差し

remembering it’s

been already three years

since you passed away…

I touched mysterious eyes

of next door’s cat

6.

窓越に道の角より猫一匹われを見上げて佇みにけり

standing

at the corner of the street

a cat

stares up me

…through my window

7.

梅雨じめる朝に揺れたる栗の花わが肩ほどにやさしく枝垂る

wet morning

in the summer rainy season…

chestnut blossoms

swaying, drooping gently

and touching my shoulder

8.

曇天にほのり紅さす若楓ときの翳りに永遠(とわ)を点さむ

cloudy sky…

young maple leaves with

faint crimson

lighting up eternity

in the shadow of time

9.

えもいはれぬ花の咲くとふ我が道に時は越したか青時雨ふる

It is said

Heavenly flowers in bloom

On my way…

Is it over time?

Greenish drizzle falling 

10.

咲くほどに白くふくらみアナベルは水無月の曇天さらふ

around

blooming season

white

and puffy Annabelle

takes away June clouds
