gentle as the curve 

of a porcelain egg

I find myself

wrapped by your love

First published and translated into Japanese on  Haiku beyond Earth

"The English haiku is interpreted into Japanese tanka （短歌）poetry of 5,7,5,7,7 pattern. This is because English is different from Japanese."

I didn't know that your kiss
was a goodbye kiss

listen to—

listen to—
the boundless energy 

of the ocean's surf 

knowing
I'm at home

year after year

year after year

 under the burning sun

the lost children of wheat

maybe the wars of the future

will be fought over water

birth

 

the birth of a crocus
how I miss
the gentle touch of
your playing fingers
with my open hair

flip flops sound

on warm tiles
now and then

the sleeping cat's breath

trommelt an die fenster
ruhig und gleichmäßig

the pas de deux

don't be so heavy
my little heart

where shall we go, when we've 

destroyed our blue planet 

beyond why would anyone
