No clouds green, a silence - 5 Haikus for String Quartet
©2014 by Peter Swinnen
Performed by Isasi Quartet
00:00 - A. Hashin
No sky
no earth - but still
snowflakes fall
02:20 - B. Basho, Matsuo. (1644-1694)
Clouds appear
and bring to men a chance to rest
from looking at the moon.
04:43 - C. Akutagawa, Ryunosuke. (1892-1927)
Green frog,
Is your body also
freshly painted?
06:52 - D. Issa. (1762-1826)
A giant firefly:
that way, this way, that way, this -
and it passes by.
08:40 - E. Michael R. Collings
Silence - a strangled
Telephone has forgotten
That it should ring
