Sahasrara


largely unprotected
              (the bald spot, you know)
the lotus I wear
is kissed by rain



stort set ubeskyttet
               (den skaldede plet, du véd)
lotussen jeg bærer
kysses af regnen

6th door / 6te dør


first summer day
                  (+25C acc. to meteorology)
my sixth door
faces North





første sommerdag
                 (+25C iflg. meteorologien)
min sjette dør
vender mod nord

Analyzing penguins / Pingviner i analyse ;-)

   Jack Galmitz has kindly written an analysis of my bilingual haiku book “Penguins/Pingviner – 122 haiku”. I am very honored he chose to do that and grateful for him reading the poems in this way. As Jack himself is a well known haijin with excellent publications to prove his skills I am doubly honored.
                 Here is the full text

nahaiwromo prompt: mirror / spejl



day of ascension I fill out a pocket mirror


Kristi Himmelfart jeg udfylder et lommespejl



*



another Friday -
after a sleepless night I face
an empty mirror


endnu en fredag -
efter en søvnløs nat står jeg overfor
et tomt spejl



*


as it is in Heaven so on Earth :: a gazillion dandelions shine


som i Himlen så og på Jorden :: en fantasillion mælkebøtter skinner

green / grønt


everything's green now
                          ('tis how it should be)
I register a new part of me
touched by time



alt er grønt nu
                (sådan som det skal være)
jeg konstaterer en ny del af mig
berørt af tiden




yellow eternity / gul evighed


day of ascension
a farmer enters
a yellow eternity



Kristi Himmelfart
en bonde træder ind i
en gul evighed



*



another round of coffee and smokes
out there eternity
is temporarily yellow



endnu en omgang kaffe og smøger
dérude er evigheden
midlertidigt gul

oops / ups


one deep breath
a turtle tips over and becomes
the will of god



eet dybt åndedrag
en skildpadde tipper over og bli'r
guds vilje

3 surreal haiku / 3 surreelle haiku


slow moon
                (honestly)
in every ink blot
a secret ant


langsom måne
                    (ærlig talt)
i enhver blækklat
en hemmelig myre


*


before the altar
I take off my face – a flame rises
from my blowhole


foran alteret
tager jeg mit ansigt af – en flamme stiger
fra mit blæsehul


*


the lady of waters
carefully constructed
from paper


fruen af vandene
omhyggeligt konstrueret
af papir

photons / fotoner




the face in the mirror
a landing place
for photons




ansigtet i spejlet
en landingsplads
for fotoner
