ぼろぼろの心ひきずり良き風のふかばとそっと朝戸をあくる
dragging
my torn and tattered
heart
I gently open
a door in the morning
hoping for a nice breeze

戸を開けて朝風入る爽やかに痛い心に愛撫を確かめ
（C)Ryuuji Suwa
日輪はなべて差しきて針槐の房のかがやき谷をうるほす
sunrays
shining on the earth
equally--
black locust flowers cast
peace over the valley
花の幾ふさ風にゆれ針槐の甘き香みつる水無月は立つ
June starts
with bunches of flowers
swaying in the wind
and the sweet fragrance of
black locust flowers
針槐 君に届くかこの香り我らが痛みもいささかなりと
black locust flowers…
will this scent ever
reach you?
and if it could
what too of our pains?

うちなびく草の間ふかく蠢くは何ものぞ沼辺に怯む我は
what does move
in the dense
glass fluttering
in the wind?
I’m frightened at
it
by the pondside

一隅に咲く君子蘭 緋の装束に我が裡映し二十年
flowering in a corner
I’ve reflected
my passion in its scarlet
for twenty years

池の上のワインレッドの睡蓮の葉葉にうかぶる五月（さつき）の憂ひ
melancholy of May…
I leave it on the wine-red
young leaves
of water lilies floating
on a dark pond

山つばき冬厳しきの地にありて皐月の空に紅(くれない)ささぐ
in a region with harsh winter
dedicate
their crimson blooms toward
the early summer sky in May

梅雨空に十首の短歌（うた）の花が咲き心の痛み晴れて美空に
🄫Ryuuji Suwa
あらがねの土の温みに藪椿おのが季(とき)知りやうやうに咲く
now
the rich soil
warming up:
wild camellias
know their season
finally comes
and are in full
bloom
(C)2021Rika Inami 稲美 里佳
漆黒の未知の魔の風入りたるか摩擦に喘ぎ我が身の軋む
a pitch-dark
unknown evil wind must have
entered me
my body creaks
as I gasp at the friction
