Origa

Haiku in English and Russian
Translations by the author

 

midwinter dawn
the pines and the wires sing
different songs

зимний рассвет
сосны и провода поют
разные песни

 

 
Las Vegas hotel
the gondolier sings
about true love

отель в Лас Вегасе
гондольер поёт
о верной любви

 

 
growing dusk
the white downy butt
of a diving duck		 смеркается
белый пушистый зад
ныряющей утки
