黒猫－夏三句

夏めくや青ざめ絵画の地平線

黒猫の夜な夜な甘し迎へ梅雨

多佳子忌にひとつ切りとす小薔薇かな*

*橋本多佳子(俳人、1899ｰ1963)

Summer is beginning to set in,
and the horizon of the painting turns pale.

The black cat sweetly welcomes
the rainy season every night.

A small rose cut to commemorate Takako's death.

*Takako Hashimoto (Haiku poet, 1899-1963)
