ESPETXEKO HAIKUAK/JAILHOUSE HAIKUS
8.Behind bars no one
ever gets any better.
That isn’t the point.
The one goal is to
take them all out of the world.
They do achieve that.
You are outside there,
out of place and outside time.
Set apart from life.

ESPETXEKO HAIKUAK/JAILHOUSE HAIKUS
8.
Barren artean
ez da inor hobetzen.
Ez da xedea.
Helburua da
mundutik bakartzea.
Hori lortzen da.
Han kanpo zaude
tokiz eta denboraz.
Bizitzaz
