Hiromi's Haiku



midnight office -
      closer together
      cockroach and I




  the moment 
   when red leaves melt 
             in the dusk



crescent moon
drawing mountain waves,
             turtles sleep



rainy season -
    a hint of perfume remains
    in the phone booth




raking fallen leaves,
she puts the cicada body back 
in the sunlight






stillness......
the black umbrella
outside an umbrella stand



first spring gust -
  artificial flowers trembling 
  on my desk



a cold wind
polishing winter stars
              with my sigh



hundreds of irises -
   a misty rain quivering
                      only leaves



autumn sea -
a ferry drawing the sunlight
on its wake



reflected 
bridge lights share the calm sea
with jellyfish



dusk -
cherry blossoms fading
in thin China ink color
