ESPETXEKO HAIKUAK/JAILHOUSE HAIKUS

11.

My prisoner friends
hey! have tossed me in the air.
My very last day.

A real tough vigil.
They’ll actually set me free?
Anxiety squared.

They come to my cell.
Inside a black garbage bag
varied mementos.

Everything outside
is day-by-day daily life.
I’ll get used to it?

ESPETXEKO HAIKUAK/JAILHOUSE HAIKUS

11.

Preso lagunek
aireratu naute, eup!
Azken eguna.

Gaubeila latza.
Librako naute benaz?
Ezinegona.

Badatoz bila.
Zabor poltsa barruan
oroitzapenak.

Kanpoan dena
egunerokotasun.
Usatuko naiz?
