 Noise


early summer

people with a bag

or a dog


dog, dog, another dog

that are called

dogs of May

 

heads smile

when struck

clematises


hands and foot

passion flowers blooming

in brightness


the same hand

is behind

lacecap hydrangeas


washing hair

lively like

a patient


a small voice

from a skinny child

in summer


dusk of water

hands blooming on the glass

 

too many tin walls

overflowing trumpet creepers


when it turns golden

clouds are broken

rainy season

Recently, Fay Aoyagi kindly translated one of my haiku and posted it on her blog . 春の夜の線路は北へ行く鎖骨／西生ゆかり the rail in a spring night is a collarbone going to north Compared to the original one, which has a rather dark atmosphere due to the strong impression of the kanji characters for “chain” (鎖) and “bone” (骨),  the English translation has a lighter sound and seems to be the beginning of a pleasant journey. In the same  blog , I also found Sayumi Kamakura's haiku, which describes a pale and solemn scene. 鶴ねむり眠れぬ天は雪を降らす／鎌倉佐弓 cranes sleep the insomniac sky sheds snow
