TRIYA, a bilingual journal of haiku, tanka and micro poems, Feb. 2026

 Editor’s Note

 

 

spring celebration -

birds returning to their nests

except for the peace dove

~ Lavana Kray

 

This haiku by Lavana Kray does more than capture a seasonal moment. It speaks to the poignancy of absence. In its delicate balance of presence and absence, homecoming and exile, this haiku distills the ache of what is missing into a single, unforgettable stroke. Look out for Lavana’s haiku, beautifully transformed into a haiga in the haiga section, and discover the poet’s story behind its creation.

Snowflake

One fine day, when you will see a single snowflake, it will not be a sign of winter coming, but of me being close to you.

                             Alzheimer’s –

                             the purest snow is nothing

                             but masked mud

 

Twisted destiny

The more people she surrounded herself with, the more enticing solitude became, and so she left. After years, I’m going to look for her. My path clings to the river and turns inland, to wear away into a sea of sand with burdock flowers, and scarlet dragonflies on its crests. Atop an old lighthouse, two storks chop up the sky. While looking for a house, I come across a simple shelter. In a mollusk shell, a trace of ash. Destiny darkened by the glowing sands.

inner cold –

to make a fire or a ladder

of the dry tree

 

 

                              Paraphernalia

This nun village has spread around the monastery as myrrh on a forehead. Some scent of incense shrouds me, as a door opens and an old green-eyed woman beckons me into her room filled up with icons and jam jars. By the window, a coffin which she bought in her 20s, according to custom, when she joined this community. As I wonder silently, she smiles, lifts the coffin lid and takes out a bottle of water and a few walnuts for me: Never know how long you have to go.

enforced night –

by the hollow window

a rope ladder

la fontaine se remplit
