Haiku on the theme Earth
buried treasure
grand-daughter in pirate dress
digs up my potatoes
埋蔵金
海賊のドレスを着た孫娘
私のジャガイモを掘り出す
****
only one planet
in the string from the sun
with no god’s name
たった一つの惑星
太陽からの文字列の中に
神の名はなし
*****
a vixen keeps watch
five fox cubs tumble in spring
sunshine outside the earth
雌ギツネが見張る
5匹の子ギツネが転げ回るのを
地球の外の春の太陽を浴びて
*****
fold upon fold
once a tropical seabed
making mountains
褶曲に褶曲
かつては熱帯の海底
山となる
*****
it goes for evvvvvver
the world from a window-seat
toddler’s first flight
永遠に続く
窓際の席から見る世界
幼児の初めての飛行
