Haiku by Anna Maria Domburg-Sancristoforo
Mongolian steppe —
the flight of an eagle
into infinity
モンゴルの草原
ワシの飛行
無限に
inner dunes—
the birds sing
more melodiously
内砂丘
鳥が歌う
よりメロディアスに
in Haiku Dialogue, April 6 2022
sea breeze
when even the moon
tastes of salt
潮風
月さえも
塩の味

closed flowers
the remote hills
of my childhood
咲かない花
遠く離れた丘
私の子供時代の

dandelion seeds —
a warm wind
through the woods
タンポポの種
暖かい風
森を通って
landslide …
pieces of a puzzle
blooming in the mud
地滑り
パズルのピース
泥の中に咲く
red rocks —
sunset shadows
on the mountain
赤い岩
夕日の影
山の上で
great green bush-cricket
a taste of grass
after the rain
素晴らしい緑色のキリギリス
草の味
雨の後
mudflat hiking
the squish of salt marshes
under my feet
干潟ハイキング
塩性湿地の潰れ
私の足の下に
in Haiku Dialogue, 27 July 2022
closer to the earth
the bare trees —
full moon
地球にもっと近づく
裸の木々
満月
