Haikus:Bonsai from the novel
by Alberto Ruy-Sánchez
Translated by Rhonda Dahl Buchanan
•••••••••
I am a nameless plant in the swift waters of your stream Chiun 1. From afar I smell magnolias in your womb that unravel me. 2. My delirious frogs from all sides leap into your pond. 3. I am that stubborn water seeking night and day all your roots. 4. Between your thighs toward your dew-lipped flower my insects crawl. 5. Feverish the leaves chant your name my winds blaze. 6. Your hungry flower traps me in flight dawn breaks within. 7. Avidly your black sun devours me. I scream on fire. 8. Surrender all secrets your spring whispers surrender all now. 9. The bee buzzes round your legs your lips provoke it. • •Nine Bonsai
