ambulance siren--

smoke from the gun

splits apart

*****

chaos all around--

the graveyard remains

in silence

Lynx, Aha Poetry, 28:2 June 2013 (Ed.Werner Reichhold)

Old hut--
the fishing net weaves
grandfather's memories

Asahi Shimbun, 3.5.2013 (Ed David McMurray)

slaughter house

the morning  sun lost

in darkness

Kernels , Spring Issue 2013 (Ed. An'ya)

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

Chrysanthemum 13, April 2013

Sunset--

the beggar lights up

candle of faith           

Asahi Shimbun, 5.4.2013 (Ed David McMurray)

falling leaves--

the fish jumps back

into thin sound

*****

sunshine--

shoe-boy reconfirms

his own reflection
