A Haiku about Bone Hitting Bone

their faces with soot
a moonlit sea of bone
hitting bone

Chinese Translation by Chen-ou Liu

他們的臉沾滿煤灰
在月光映照下的大海
骨頭撞擊骨頭

Romanian Translation by Eduard Tara

fetele lor cu funingine
o mare sub clar de lună
lovind os deos

Ripples from a Splash

My book is now available through www.lulu.com [Liu's] haiku resonates the Asian spirit, and makes use of aesthetics in a continuum of time that is permanent and impermanent; the process more important than the subjective specificity of object bias found in most Anglo-Western haiku like poems. His poetry demand to be interpreted by the informed reader. They do not tell all, are not based on an “aha” moment, and have no definitive ending. More importantly they give meaning and voice to the unsaid, the magic inherent in Japanese poetry. -- Poetry Review by Robert D. Wilson, Editor-in-chief of Simply Haiku.
