WALES HAIKU JOURNAL
The Door: A Nexus Haiku Sequence - Michael Dudley, Tomislav Maretic & Dejan Pavlinovic
January rain . . .
through holes in the mist
slants of hope
siječanjska kiša . . .
kroz rupe u magli
zrake nade
late winter
an early warbler
tuning in spring
kasna zima
rana ptica pjevica
ugađa proljeće
pandemic fears . . .
fireplace newspapers
from life before
pandemijski strahovi . . .
novine s kamina
iz prijašnjeg života
walking alone
the shadows of late afternoon
slowly depart
samotna šetnja
sjene kasnog popodneva
polako odlaze
self-isolation
nap of vivid dreams
in a dream
samoizolacija
drijemež živopisnih snova
u snu
Sunday solitude . . .
bells of a distant church
among the petals
nedjeljna samoća . . .
zvona udaljene crkve
među laticama
minds
crowded with worries
the midday streets empty
misli
zakrčene brigama
prazne podnevne ulice
uncertain for so long the next new moon
već dugo neizvjestan novi mladi mjesec
reopening
the door of our pub:
the smell of detergents
ponovno otvaranje
vrata našega kafića:
miris deterdženta
