Japan tsunami haiku-reposted with japanese translation

I sent these haiku to Hidenori Hiruta, my fellow poet in Akita, Japan, to show my condolences and solidarity in the aftermath of Japan tsunami. Few days ago, he posted my works on his blog along with works of some other poets from around the world. Hiruta-san kindly translated and transliterated my works into kanji as seen below.

japan tsunami
short question in my prayer
god, falling asleep?


tsunami jepang

aku bertanya dalam doa 
tuhan, kau tertidur?


日本の津波

祈りの中で短い質問

神よ、眠っているの？

close attachment
from tv screen to my skin
the tremor crawling


kuat terikat
dari layar tv ke kulitku
getar merayap


ごく近い付着
テレビの画面から私の皮膚へ
揺れがゆっくり進んでいる


3/
tidal waves..
cherry blossoms fall
to the coldest night


gelombang tinggi…
bunga sakura rontok
ke dingin malam


津波
桜の花が散る
一番寒い夜に

Tsunami haiku

1/

rising tide

he kneels longer

on the tatami

ombak nan tinggi

sujudnya lebih dalam

di atas tilam

2/

pale moon

mirrored on the last snow

night in Ibaraki

malam ibaraki

bulan pucat bercermin

salju terakhir

3/

clouds overhead...

how big the moon looks

from miyagi?

di sini mendung...

tampak besarkah bulan

dari miyagi?

4/

tsunami update

strange sound

of splashing water

warta tsunami

suara kecipak air

sungguh tak biasa

Gad falls asleep haiku

japan tsunami
short question in my prayer
god, falling asleep?
