remembering the scent
of the last spring

Haiku by Eufemia Griffo

fallen leaves
everything goes away
together with the wind

落ち葉

すべてがなくなる

風と共に

bare branches
the leaves already regret
their dwelling

裸の枝

葉はすでになつかしく思っている

彼らの住処を

paper lanterns
a sparkling swarm
of tiny stars

提灯

小さな星の輝く群れ

misty woods
the invisible color
of hawthorn

霧の森

サンザシの目に見えない色

fishing village
the lapping of waves
in empty nets

漁村

波の打ち寄せる音

空の網に

The Great Wave
an old painter mixes colours
of the infinite

グレートウエーブ

年老いた画家が無限の色を混ぜる

Beech tree
the long roots
of childhood memories

ブナの木

子供時代の思い出の長い根

upturned shells
the sound of sea
buried in the sand

上向きの貝

砂に埋もれた海の音

late spring
the elderberry woods
blanketed by snow

晩春エルダーベリーの森

雪に覆われた

— Translated by Hidenori Hiruta

grandparent’s house
the fragrance of bread
from room to room

casa dei nonni
la fragranza del pane
da una stanza all’altra

chilly twilight
looking for you
inside me

singing bowl
the muffled sound
of the first snow

freddo crepuscolo
cercandoti
dentro di me

campana tibetana
il suono ovattato
della prima neve

winter solitude
a snowflake falls
then another

setting sun
The Naviglio grande
changing its colours

solitudine invernale
cade un fiocco di neve
poi un altro

sole al tramonto
Il Naviglio Grande
sta cambiando i suoi colori
