El grupo de Meta “Retama Escuela de Haiku” curó y publicó una traducción que hice de Tan Taigi (炭太祇, 1709-1771).

Feliz haiku. ✨

un cardenal.

Un árbol frágil

se estremece.

It trembles.

La mandarina es una palabra estacional (o “kigo”, 季語) asociada con el otoño en la poesía tradicional japonesa. En México, este fruto tiene resonancias más invernales.

灰の煙けれど手には蜜柑の皮の香り

Ceniza en el humo,
pero mis manos huelen
a cáscara de mandarina

Ashy smoke,
but my hands smell
of tangerine rind
