One Man's Maple Moon: Disconnected Thread Tanka by Marilyn Humbert

English Original

this grey day
I drift from one thought
to the next …
a spider in the breeze
on a disconnected thread

A Hundred Gourds, 4:3, June 2015

Marilyn Humbert


Chinese Translation (Traditional)

在這個灰暗的日子
我的思緒
不斷地飄蕩 ...
微風中一隻蜘蛛
在斷開的絲線上

Chinese Translation (Simplified)

在这个灰暗的日子
我的思绪
不断地飘荡...
微风中一只蜘蛛
在断开的丝线上
