Where
once there was a grove...
fresh deer tracks
between houses.
|
Где раньше был лес,
свежие следы оленей
между домами. |
| * * * |
Frosty air…
Park aspens pour their gold
at the tramp’s feet. |
Морозный воздух…
Осины в парке сыплют золото
бродяге под ноги. |
| * * * |
Spring forest…
A rabbit keeps an eye on me
five hip-hops away.
|
Весенняя роща…
Зоркий заячий глаз
в пяти прыжках от меня. |
| * * * |
Tree frogs and cicadas,
in this noise how can you hear
your kin?
|
Квакши и цикады,
в этом общем шуме как вы
слышите своих? |
| * * * |
Burdock stops me -
a dewdrop sparkles
lightning-blue.
|
Репейник
остановил меня – росинка
блестит слепяще-голубым. |
| * * * |
Morning fog –
each passing car
just a glimpse. |
Утренний туман…
Каждая проезжающая машина
лишь мгновенье. |
