Haikai III (english version)

I

the carrousel still

shines in the old man´s eyes

- child´s happiness

II

in the morning sun

the mirror reflects clouds

- no one´s around

III

shallow lake

in the middle of the ripples

the wattled jacana

IV

a curious look

in the oven-bird´s house

- who came to help?

V

in the old room

the new gains more taste

- bread basket
