Haiku 俳句, the Noise of the Truth: 2009-08-23

A Old boat anchor lies

in the deeps of China Sea,

cold steel touches the water.

(Alberto Savoi)




Una vecchia ancora

giace nelle profondità del mar Cinese,

freddo acciaccio accarezza l'acqua.

(Alberto Savoi)

"There's your Karma ripe as peaches"



Desolation Angels is similar to a long haibun. Some of the fragments make it as haiku while others don't quite make it. I've included a few that seem to be close to what we'd call traditional American Haiku.











A bubble, a shadow -
woop -
The lightning flash


Thunder in the mountains -
the iron
Of my mother's love


Mist boiling from the
ridge - the mountains
Are clean


Mist before the peak
- the dream
Goes on


as cold
water in a dell
on a dusty tired trail -


Girls' footprints
in the sand
- Old mossy pile


Wooden house
raw gray -
Pink light in the window


Neons, Chinese restaurants
coming on -
Girls come by shades

Red light on the road,

surrounded by a thick mist -

lighthouse of the night.

(Alberto Savoi)





Semaforo rosso sulla strada,

circondati da una fitta nebbia -

un faro nella notte.

(Alberto Savoi)
