Japan Earthquake 01, by Kazuo O
東日本大震災(東北地方太平洋沖地震)
電柱の揺れ見上ぐれば春の空
でんちゅうの ゆれ みあぐれば はるのそら
Japan Earthquake
An electric pole shakes
We look up to see
only the Spring sky
11日の午後、横浜市の東京電力の建物で、地震の講演をしているときに大きく揺れ始め、中庭に避難しました。
In the afternoon of the 11th when I was giving a lecture about earthquakes, inside the building of Tokyo Electric Power Company in Yokohama, the building shook violently. We sought refuge in a courtyard.

Japan Earthquake 02, by Kazuo O
火を囲み津波の残せし雲丹を喰ふ
ひをかこみ つなみののこせし うにをくふ
A fire surrounded by people
who eat sea urchin
Left behind by the tsunami
雲丹が春の季語、仙台の名物です。気仙沼の牡蠣もだめになりました。
Uni (sea urchin) is a word for Spring. Sendai is famous for sea urchin. Well known oyster of Kesennuma is also decimated.

大津波ここまで遡上鳥曇
おおつなみ ここまでそじょう とりぐもり
The great tsunami
clambered inland
As if to reach the cloudy sky

Awakened, by Yoko K
キツツキの連打に目覚める春の朝
キツツキのれんだにめざめる はるのあさ
Awakened by the drum roll
Of a woodpecker
A Spring morning
