NIHILBASHO 4

a freehaiku
by AZsacra ZARATHUSTRA
English translation by Aidar Ismagilov


severance
of the petals makes the Whole
rose


remember
about heart
of the speck!


the leap
of squashed worms
in lightning


the labyrinth
dies away inside
the snail


the wounded butterfly
crept into
the flower


the spider by its web
has concealed
the fire


at the reflection
aims
the mirror


the tail
throws off
the lizard


the tremble
and the shiver under
the skin


the thinnest
vortex
in the teardrop


fear,
oh Light,
to cry!


the clanging
of cicada in the piece
of ice


the swallow
casts the shadow
of the black kite


the path
in air
through petals


the lack of drop
on the tip
of the leaf


the fall of buzzing
bumblebee... in chaos
of soft caterpillars


gushed out
without streams
the rain


the tremble's caught
in the trap
of the thrill!


stings of dead bees
shows the path to cold
of dead nestlings


back into the speck of dust
compression
of the explosion


on the other side
of the void of the butterfly -
is the naught of the wolf
