ESPETXEKO HAIKUAK/JAILHOUSE HAIKUS

4.

Walking in the yard
the prisoners back and forth.
Like a centipede.

Leaning on the wall,
a kiss of sun on the face.
A moment of peace.

Sky above the yard
is a muddy movie screen
that’s showing no film.

Unclosed from above,
the yard is an open box,
without any gift.

ESPETXEKO HAIKUAK/JAILHOUSE HAIKUS

4.

Patioan oinez
aldez alde presoak.
Ehunzangoa.

Horman etzanda,
musuan eguzkia.
Bake unea.

Patioko zeru,
zinema izara lohi,
filmik gabea.

Goitik zabalik,
kutxa bat da patioa,
opari baga.
