Haiku of Richard Wright(62)
(photo) her mobile phone
Naked to the sky,
A village without a name
In the setting sun.
空はお見とおし
名もない村が
落日の中
(放哉)
夕日の中へ力いつぱい馬を追ひかける
I chase a horse
As fast as I can
In the setting sun.
■What attracted me most to the Wright's haiku is the phrase" Naked to the sky." The sky knows everything happening in the village during the day. The village is soon in the setting sun. And in it you chase a horse as fast as you can. "as fast as I can" is beautiful.
