Haiku

 

small traces
of steps at sunset
—
shivering blackbird

 

 

falling chestnuts
the wind is experienced
—
game of bowling

 

 

only the moon—
autumn’s monodies with names
of stations

 

 

late frost ...
befuddling smell
from the vineyards

 

 

dawn whiteness—
under the sunlight
chrysanthemums

 

 

lost cricket
in grandmother's basement
—
demijohn, dust

 

 

final embrace—
hanging roses
on the wooden cross

 

 

form throughout
the formless void
—
beautiful sunset ...

 

 

broken wing—
only a swan
under the old dock

 

 

window spiders—
the cat in grandma’s
rocking chair

 

 

Buddha Temple—
over the ruins
prayer in tears

 

 

Tanka

 

„Namaste!” I hear
in the silent night –
a falling leaf whispers
our song
over and over again

 

 

if you still cry,
the entire autumn
will lose all its leaves –
there are too many falling leaves
in the world already, my love
