distant waterfall--

her gray hair swings

with spring breeze

twilight sky

with floating clouds

a long journey

before I could  travel

the rain-soaked distance

the school kids busy counting

cherry blossoms

стар мост –
учениците заети в броене
на вишневи цветчета

paddy fields--

the sun for a while

pretends in green

pirinčana polja –
na trenutak sunce
pozelenelo

full moon

peeps through the roof

the street dweller

tightly holds the thread

of hope against  wild  thunder

old monument —

every brick cements

a different story

jeder Ziegel zementiert

eine andere Geschichte

kann ich dir folgen —

verschobener Horizont
