Haiku by Clelia Ifrim

Cherry tree in bloom
like a mouth of a newborn -
hana goromo.

My Loved Japan, Best Books of 2011, The Japan Times

Yellow butterfly
on a numbered grave —
I love you, unknown child!

My Loved Japan, Best Books of 2011, The Japan Times

The northern wind sweeps
a village on the seashore —
a handful of salt.

Ko, autumn-intern, 2005

No entry zone, no . . .
can you say to my memories
not to return home?

My Loved Japan, Best Books of 2011, The Japan Times

Light autumn sky —
ragdoll sinks into the sea
with its eyes open.

Ko, Nagoya, Japan, autumn - winter, 2009

Price of a rice bag —
the light of day turns into
a letter of spring.
