night, spirits





一日のおわり


窓をしめるまえに  外にでる


なかの熱気とは対照的に


ここちよく 涼やかな微風
わっと耳のなかで反響する虫の声


明るい月
あるいは  銀いろにかすむ雲
深い空にしずんで しずかに
けれどもはっきりみえる


木々の陰にひそんでいる
旺盛な生命力 とでもいおうか


強烈な太陽のしたで
色彩の下にかくれていた
小さなものたちの息づかい


そういった 夏の気配にいだかれて
わたしはしばらく  佇んでいる














at the time i 
close the windows

i step out to the night sky

wind touches me soft
loud insects' song echoes

moon light bright, or
silver clouds sink deep
yet so clearly seen

the atmosphere full
spirits of which were
hidden under the deep green

which i have not seen
behind bright colors of summer 
under eclipse of sun

embraced in that atmosphere i
stand still for a while
looking up the sky

  1. you were right, yukino.

    when i was trying to
    write same things in english, russian,
    even japanese - sometimes
    i could not,
    all so different, pauses
    rythm

    our moon was hiding somewhere
    in the woods but today it is in front
    of my window, suddenly so huge
    your sky is restless, but
    words are soothing

    1. thank you, olga.
      restless sky ... yes, was so bright and clear
      that kept me still, awake
      not to move nor back to room.

      i was just to write
      how i like this, being out at night
      but when i started,
      other things have come to me to think
      like rhyme, and have lost some of my rhythm..
      hope this is not too artificially written.

      after i posted this
      i spent some time to watch your site: archives of your work
      so impressed with things i saw before or
      new things like nature letter works and old photos.
      those old photos taken with films?
      they are so emotional and delicate.

    2. oh, no.
      it all blends in one,
      natural, essential.
      like the first time

      i love to stay up at night
      making my new things.
      and i was dreaming about it
      all years when i had to wake up
      at six. now i can

      and i was about to
      add many photos, yes,
      films - all of them.
      and only hand made file
      they are taken with digital
      camera.
      and it is endless, always
      afraid to download all of it,
      seems overwhelming

      thank you, for always
      looking and being,
      yukino

    3. you are hard worker, olga,
      i mean it in good meaning,
      have a spiritual sense of art
      and talented to make it real.
      and it includes, maybe, sharing your work with others.
      such a thing can't be done so easily.
      i admire you, olga.

      good night..
