slaughter house
the morning  sun lost
in darkness

the whirlwind           
in the winter evening           
broken mirror                 
my mother gently gathers                   
in between hot arguments                   


der Wirbelwind
am Winterabend
zerbrochne Spiegelstücke
behutsam von meiner Mutter eingesammelt
bei heftigem Wortwechsel

- Chrysanthemum-13, April 2013          

waves after waves --                
the argumentative couple        
decides for a break                  

Welle um Welle --
das streitbare Paar
entscheidet auf Unterbrechung

*****
clatters of sparrow --              
someone still with                     
my loneliness                          

Sperlingsgetrippel
jemand bleibt mit
in meiner Einsamkeit

Sunset--
the beggar lights up
candle of faith

falling leaves--
the fish jumps back
into thin sound

*****
sunshine--
shoe-boy reconfirms
his own reflection
