THE FULL MOON

Looking up
At the full moon,
I imagine
You also looking up
In the night sky.

1.

That big silver moon,

Playing hide and seek,

Confusing the hares.

 

2.

In my heart our moons,

Our times together buried,

Like the squirrel’s nuts.

3.

As a moon forlorn,

My heart so lonely, so torn,

Two swans I envy.

4.

You  are my moon,

You said, and then abandoned.

Me, the moon heaves sighs.

HAIKU

 

#1

 

Moonlit face

I'm awake

Streamlet flows

 

#2

 

Crescent moon looms

Ending of September dawn

No-one nowhere

 

#3

 

She looks at me here

Even in absence I feel

Black moon in daylight

 

#4

 

Stirring sugar cubes

Late moon dissolves

Azaan at 4 A. M.

 

#5

 

Farmers arriving at

Opaque dawn in moon light

Nostalgia of Mirhati

Gogyoshi a la Luna

 

Hoy la luna duerme bajo mi almohada

he robado al cielo su luz para alumbrar mis tristezas

y tener con quién compartir el vino que esperando...

una gran fecha se puso viejo entre los poemas

que maldigo haberte escrito.

 

Haiku a la Luna

 

Luna lo sabe

odio caminar sola

bajo tu sombra.

notte: m'affaccio

immobile nel chiar di

luna un gatto...

 

*

night – I look out

motionless in the

moonlight a cat

 

 

quasi trafitta

dalle antenne sui tetti

la luna piena

 

*

almost pierced

by the antennas on the roofs

the full moon

 

 

luna al tramonto:

mentre spazzo il terrazzo

autopsia di un'ape

 

*

moon at sunset —

while sweeping the terrace

bee autopsy

 

 

cresce in cenere

sottile falce ardente

stronzo di luna

 

*

growing into ash

thin glowing sickle

moon turd

 

 

sonnecchia luna

versando lattea aura:

metà d'agosto

 

*

napping moon

spills opalescent shine –

mid-August

 

 

occhio sinistro:

luna dietro le sbarre

destro: libera

 

*

left eye open –

moon behind bars

right eye – free

 

 

luna di tre dì:

i panni stesi

gocciano sulla terra

 

*

three-day moon –

the hanging clothes

drip on the earth

 

 

smuore la luce:

il rosa nelle nubi

e lo spicchio di luna

 

*

the light dies away –

the pink in the clouds

and the moon sickle

 

 

a un passo dalla

luna crescente:

tortora sull'antenna

 

*

a step away

from the waxing moon —

turtle dove on the antenna

 

 

vento d'estate:

la luna corre

tra le nuvole

 

*

summer wind —

the moon runs

among the clouds

 

 

la faccia della luna

all'interno della mia bocca

 

*

the face of the moon

inside my mouth
