Green Bamboos

at a corner of a pet cemetary
watch
you kick young green bamboo leaves
run up to the blue sky

be the wind
and play with coulds

till I see you again
***
ペット霊園の片隅で
君が
若緑色の竹林を蹴って
青空へ駆けのぼっていくのを
見ていたよ。

風になって
雲と
遊んでいてね。

また、会おうね。

Dear My Dog

A Snack?

Dear Yupie

I give
an orange gerbera daisy
to you

the vivid orange flower
reminds me of your cheerful smile

six years and ten months passed since you were born

wish we could spend more time together
wish we could laugh more together
 ***

Sleepless Night

Sleepless night
I count cards of regrets
If I watched you more closely
If I took you to the veterinarian immediately
If...
If...

***

Morning sun

when
the morning sun on our eyelids
we
miss
your morning kiss

***
On 25th april, our dog, yupie suffered a heart failure and crossed the rainbow.

After the big earthquake on March 11, we had hundreds of aftershocks.
At each aftershock and warning sound, he was scared very badly.
But in other times, he was healthy and cheerful.

Yupie, we miss you so much.

Cherry petals

in an empty park
a panda playing equipment swings
in the wind?
in the aftershock?
Cherry petals are falling

誰もいない公園で
パンダの遊具が揺れている
風かな
余震かな
桜がひらひら散っている

Level 7

The government finally admits
the seriousness of the nuclear plant accident
Cherry blossoms are scattered
with radiation
Still, love this country
***

レベル7
ようやく政府が事故の深刻さを認めた朝
やるせなくて
海岸線を歩いた
風に
桜の花びらと
放射能が舞っている
それでも
この国を愛している

Cherry blossoms!

Slide down pink clouds
slide down
pink clouds
cherry blossoms in full bloom
***
Today is my hubby's birthday.
We walked through the tunnel of cherry blossoms.
But our dog seemed to prefer dumplings.
Dumplings are better... 花より団子
