Humble love tanka

should I apologize
for letting it go thru
my weary head
a humble love
that reaches you?

mestikah aku minta maaf
karena membiarkannya lolos
lewat benakku yang letih
cinta sederhana
yang menggapaimu?

At the boulevard tanka

dawn returns
to boulevard seeing
those pines collecting the dews
where do you head for
only time will tell

pagi selalu ingin kembali
ke bulevar menyaksikan embun
berkumpul pada pucuk-pucuk pinus
ke mana kau menuju
biar kutunggu dua tiga windu

Gray hair tanka

in the shadow of
bamboo trunks, mushroom
grows unnoticed
gray hair
on my head

di bayangan
rumpun bambu, jamur liar
diam-diam tumbuh
di kepalaku
uban

Bald head kyoka

losing customer
he rubs his bald head
and decides
to stop selling
anti hairloss
