花の雨震災深部の駅に立つ

Cherry blossoms are trembling, wet in the rain,
I am in a town wounded by the sinister quake,
before the break of dawn .

被災児の指に懸かりし春の虹

A Rainbow ! A girl who became homeless in the quake cries
and whose finger touches the spring rainbow beyond.

もらい湯のタオルを肩に春の星

With a towel on my shoulder,
I return home looking up at twinkling spring stars, after bathing in a warmly offered bath , a bath after so many troubled days !
