still life
her finger blurs shadows
of the fresh fallen apple


martwa natura
jej palec rozciera cienie
opadłego jabłka


natură moartă
dagetul ei estompează umbrele
mărului proaspăt căzut

World Haiku 2016: No. 12
still life
between the sketchbook pages
the kireji


mackerel sky
a yogi turns the horizon
upside down


gossamer threads
your embrace weaker
than before

winter field
the crows devour
the last light


polje zimi
vrane žderu 
prošlu noć


zimowe pole
kruki pochłaniają
ostatnie światło

Haiku zdobyło trzecią nagrodę w konkursie chorwackiego magazynu IRIS. Jurorem był Jim Kacian.
Jego komentarz do haiku:

The proffered scene is like a classic photograph, reminiscent of the work, perhaps, of John Berger from his days in the Pyrenees — natural, sharp, highly contrasted. What raises the poem above the strict delineation of place, however, is the violence of the verb. Light must be clinging to that snowfield, and yet what compels the poet is its disappearance, embodied by the blackness that is the crows. The crows, then, become the emblem of the death of the day, light-eaters, with all the foreboding such creatures conjure in our imaginations. As winter is already a time of diminished light, their infernal work seems all the more apparent, and appalling.
