DARKSACURA: BLACK GARDEN 4

BLACK GARDEN 4

a freehaiku

English translation by Aidar Ismagilov

you, praying mantis
don't kill this butterfly —
the dew will do it.

the saw keeps gnawing —
so silent remain
the trees...

the temptation of aroma!
even ordinary flowers
are craving to kill.

the berries that are ripe
desire to be poisoned with —
curare.

the state of order of the rain!
in every drop is —
chaos.

no one is
searching now for —
the perfect hurricane.

light dragonflies
in their dreams see fears —
awake them, Terror!

isn't logical the sequence:
the suicide of flowers follows
the death of cicadas?

the blow of wind!.. The one
dandelion captures
the field.

the impossible can happen
for the ashes of the butterfly —
the kill of flare!

the snowflake.
one more snowflake.
one more...

snow doesn't melt...
the willingness of death —
in glow of Spring!

the boughs salute
the death. By throwing up
the leaves turned yellow!

to torture petals there is
the tender touch of
soft caterpillars...

in the orchid will not awake
the bumblebee: the sap's
so sweet!

the dust is blown to see
the dead butterfly contemplating
through the glass.
