Early bird haibun

Awakened by the chill early this morning, she gazes at the wall clock hung on her gray wall. No ticking sound she can hear. "I need some new batteries."

early bird
under the sheet
his aftershave

::
Dingin yang merayapi kulit membangunkannya dini hari itu. Matanya melirik jam di dinding yang kusam. Ia tak mendengar bunyi detik yang biasa ia dengar. "Ah, aku harus mengganti baterainya."

bangun awal
aroma aftershave
di balik sprei

Empty birdcage haiku

empty birdcage
children's laughter pierces
my mossy wall

sangkar kosong
tawa anak-anak menembus
tembok berlumut

Lichen haiku

aged wall
lichens grow into
autumn wind
