light raindrops in my deep footprints on the muddy path | lietaus lašeliai mano giliuos pėdsakuos dumblinam take |

first cuckoo – I step outside barefoot to count my years | pirma gegutė – išeinu basas laukan metų skaičiuoti |
In Lithuanian folk the cuckoo is a mysterious and magic bird. Until the cuckoo's call is heard, venturing outdoors in bare feet is dangerous even if the weather is warm because the earth underneath is still frozen and can cause ailments. The cuckoo's call dispels the last vestige of winter and ensures the cold is gone for good. When a person hears the cuckoo's first call he or she may ask: "How many years will I live?" The answer is the number of times the cuckoo calls after the question.

certain death in my favorite color – sluggish so far | kol kas lėtoka – mano mėgstamos spalvos angis mirtina |

I am back
I am back from hiking to haiku. Thanks to all of you for your kind wishes, they meant a lot to me. The trip was great, I have managed to travel in Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, had a lot of wonderful meetings, had a lot of time to think but... I missed all of you a lot. It will take a while to visit all of you for you've been really busy in my absence - I have more than 500 haiku posts to read. Well, let's look at the bright side of it - I've got something to enjoy for another month or so. And, as I have already said hi, it's time to say ku too. Let's get haikuing!
Aš grįžau. Ačiū visiems už malonius palinkėjimus, jie man tikrai svarbūs. Kelionė buvo nuostabi, man pavyko pakeliauti Panamoje, Kosta Rikoje ir Nikaragvoje, apturėjau daugybę nuotykių, turėjau begales laiko apmąstymams, bet... labai pasiilgau jūsų visų. Prireiks nemažai laiko, kol apsilankysiu pas visus, nes panašu, kad kol manęs nebuvo, rašėte labai produktyviai - turėsiu perskaityti daugiau kaip 500 haiku. Hm, galima įžvelgti ir šviesią pusę - bus gražaus skaitymo visam mėnesiui ar net daugiau. Jei jau pasisveikinau, tai dabar galima pradėt ir kurti. Kantrybės visiems skaitantiems.

morning sun – swan’s lair melts so do my ears | rytmečio saulė – tirpsta ausys ir guolis gulbės naktinis |
Feb 12, 2008
I get up early and prepare for a small photo walk. Just before leaving the house, I look out of the window. Remaining small patches of snow on the hill side reflect morning sun. Few tits play around in the nut-tree. Everything looks just perfect for taking some shots. Then, my eyes unwillingly focus on the window surface.
low winter sun –
dusted fingerprints emerge
on the window
I suddenly remember year old robbery like it happened yesterday. Who is using my old camera now? I wonder and double-check the locks.
house alarmed
shy bird finally looks
into the clean lens
Atsikeliu anksti ir paskubomis susiruošiu nedideliam foto pasivaikščiojimui. Prieš išeinant žvilgteliu pro langą. Įkalnėje išlikę sniego lopinėliai atspindi rytmečio saulę. Kelios zylės žaidžia plikame lazdyne. Viskas atrodo idealiai keliems foto šūviams. Tada, mano žvilgsnis nevalingai sustoja ties pačiu langu. Staiga prisimenu metų senumo buto vagystę, lyg ji būtų įvykusi tik vakar. Kažin kas dabar naudojasi mano senu fotoaparatu? Dar kartą patikrinu ar gerai uždaryti langai ir durys.
vasario saulė –
senas piršto antspaudas
ant lango stiklo

raven croaks
above the bare trees –
herald of death
quiet again
fixed-date ticket
in my bag
krankteli varnas
aukštai virš nuogų medžių –
mirties pranašas
širdis vėl rami
mano krepšy - bilietas
fiksuota data

swirls in the wind swarm of snowflake midges cold stings to the face | vėjo draikoma marška sniego mašalų į skruostus gelia |
