halloween party

in my Don Juan costume

I'm taken for Zorro

yksikseni ...
sammutan valot
ja päästän sisään kuun

"Lights," translated into Finnish

by

Juhani Tikkanen

aka

tikkis

solitude . . .

turning out the lights

I let in the moon

[First place in the Caribbean Kigo Kukai, September 2009; assigned kigo was "lights."]

jacaranda petals

from here to the corner

I step lightly
