    ESPETXEKO HAIKUAK/JAILHOUSE HAIKUS

    2.

    Through the door’s chuck hole
    the prisoners talk to me.
    And where are you from?

    No reason at all.
    Everyone in this place is
    wholly innocent.

    2.

    Behatxulotik
    mintzo zaizkit presoak.
    Nongoa zara?

    Zergatirik ez.
    Hemen guztiak dira
    errugabeak.
