ATLAS POETICA - WORLD TANKA JOURNAL No 30

1

My friends

who used to come by daily

have suddenly left me . . .

I'm scribbling one more thought

on my foot’s plaster cast

x

Prietenii

care veneau de obicei

m-au părăsit subit –

mai scriu o cugetare

pe gheata mea de ghips

2

Roses

and vinyl records  . . .

from the snowy soul

a snake of smoke rises

to heavens

x

Trandafiri

și discuri de vinil –

din sufletul nins

se ridică la cer

un șarpe de fum

3

Black clouds

took everything away — 

the sap of flowers

left in a book is a sign

that you’ve been here

x

Norii hrăpăreți

au luat totul cu ei –

seva florilor

presate într-o carte,

semn că ai fost aici

4

Finally,

something is going on

in the desert . . .

the prints of your steps

filled with tadpoles

x

În sfârșit,

se întâmplă ceva

în deșert –

urmele pașilor tăi

pline cu mormoloci

5

I tied

my dreams in trees,

forgot about the hunters  . . .

the light inside my birds

drenched all away

x

Am urcat

visurile în copac,

uitând de vânători –

s-a scurs toată lumina

din păsările mele

Illustration de ce poème:

dans le pré en automne
sur chaque brin d'herbe
la rosée qui s'est déposée
sont-ce les larmes des insectes
qui toute la nuit ont crié ?

2
Qu'évoque pour vous le mot "vague" ?

le temps de quitter...
les vagues de poupe concotent
un cocktail de souvenirs

Cirrus tankas de nos jours n o 8 ~ octobre 201 7

après ton départ

la vie a pris la touche
d'un chocolat périmé -

l'empreinte
de mes dents

2
le chien
avec ton chausson 
à son coin de coucher...
le ronflement du chat
dans mon lit

Ginyu Haiku Gallery 76

1
high snow -
I draw a skylark
on blank music sheet

2
bombinating light 
in the schoolyard -
our white hair

3
post-war bulldozing -
a baby stands on tiptoe
to catch dandelions

"Your sorrow well mixed with the natural scene".
