The Summer Solstice

at dusk~ a doragon ~goes west.

It was the summer solstice on June 22nd in Japan.
A doragon gave notice of the fine weather on midsummer day.
I, like an earthworm, was grilled by the merciless sun on the road.

the summer solstice

put the trash out

with a shortened shadow

夏至の朝短き影とゴミを出す

***

midsummer day

receive

indigo blue dishes

夏至の日に藍の器が届いたり

***

midsummer heat

surges at

nostrils and a throat

夏至の熱鼻孔に喉に押し寄せる

***

midsummer afternoon

an aged father eagerly watches

Samurai TV dramas

夏至の午後仁と黄門父夢中
