Haiku by Polina Pecherskaya
вдох-выдох
не оставляет следов
полет бабочки
inhale – exhale
does butterfly leave
any traces?
息を吐き出す吸い込む
蝶は残しますか
何か痕跡を
море молчит
говорят, говорят, говорят
волны
silence of the sea
they speak, speak, speak
these waves
海の沈黙
話す 話す 話す
これらの波
такая мелочь
опавшие берёзовые
листочки
such a trifle!
small fallen leaves
of birches
そんな些細な事！
白樺の小さな落ち葉
чуть не свалился
с верхней полки
игрушечный глобус
toy globe
almost has fallen down
from the upper shelf
おもちゃの地球儀
落ちてしまうところ
上の棚から
теплая темень
южной ночи
запах цветка
warm darkness
of southern night
fragrance of a flower
南の夜の暖かい闇
花の香り
место силы
уравновешивают гору
два облачка
place of power
two clouds balance
the mountain
権力の場所
2つの雲が山のバランスをとる
каждый день
меняется экспозиция
небо в небе
every day
a new exhibition
sky in the sky
毎日
新しい展示会
空の中の空
солнце, луна
не у меня одной
затмения
the sun and the moon
i’m not the only one
with eclipses
太陽と月
私だけじゃない
日食と一緒なのは
все виды
ненужных людей
ночной автобус
all kinds
of needless people
night bus
不要な人たちのすべての種類
夜行バス
чайный домик..
на десерт
