waning lights...

 scade ziua...

hibiscusul de pe terasă

are un boboc nou

waning lights...

the hibiscus on the porch

has a new bud

des lumières déclinantes…

l'hibiscus sur le porche

a un bourgeon nouveau

akari ga kie yuku… 

pōchi no fuyōzoku 

atashii me ga aru

灯りが消えゆく…

ポーチのフヨウ属

新しい芽がある
