もう明けさうな窓あけて青葉day about to break, i open the window — green leaves

まだ薄暗いけれど、もう夜明けが近い。窓を開けると、青葉がそこにある。明けきる前に起き出して、その日いちばん新しい空気を吸いこむ。夜と朝のあわいの、みずみずしい時間。夏の朝のはじまりを、飾らずそのまま差し出したような一句。It is still dim, but dawn is near. He opens the window, and the green leaves are right there. Rising before day fully breaks, he draws in the freshest air of the day. The luminous time between night and morning. A poem that offers the start of a summer morning, plain and just as it is.
