VRIJEME JE NAJBOLJI TRKAC
----

U dimenziji planetarne polilogizacije djelatni su mnogovrsni procesi duhovne univerzalizacije koji odredjuju duhovnost treceg tisucljeca. Tako i u modusima umjetnickog bivstvovanja.Haiku je planetarni fenomen koji pripada toj procesualnosti. Haiku pjesnikovanje, - u svijesti nacionalnih kultura tek kao marginalni epifenomen, - u sustini je planetarni pokazatelj duhovnog pjesnikovanja.
Haiku pjesnici vise ne pisu samo "jedni drugima" u zatvorenom mikrokozmosu nekakve prividne elitnosti. Oni su kaza novog vremena i planetarne poliloske otvorenosti na zadatku oplemenjivanja zivota. Izvan cehovskih i drugih inih pogona kulture oni promicu vrijednosti
planetarnog zajednistva i skrbe o dignitetu ne samo poetske rijeci vec duhovnog zivota u cjelini.
Poput Koi Nagate i stila "kongen"(u znacenju "egzistencijalnosti"), Borivoj Bukva na tragu haijinstva ide svojim osebujnim poetskim putem. Ozivotvorujuci "haiku srce" i "haiku oci", on i u ovoj novoj zbirci od 63 haiku/senryu trostiha svjedoci stavom "tzu-jan"("ono samo po sebi") koje jest haijinski "sonomama"("bas to!","upravo tako!"), taj "wabi" kojim svaki susret, svaki ugodjaj egzistencijalnog trenutka postaje haiku trenutak.

Duboka bol i patnja jednog povijesnog usuda postaju estetski podnosljiva slika i humani uzvik, uzlet u ljepotu viseg zivota:

"Okretna meta/na puscanoj cijevi./Trag leptira.",
"Plac djeteta/i krvave pelene./Mrtva majka."
"Lagani vjetar/i udar bombe o tlo./Miris ljubicice."

Slika pokreta i ukorijenjenosti u trenutak prisustvovanja snazno se iskazuje u stihovima:

"Stare skornje/po cesti sljap,sljap/-kisa sipi.",
"Crnilo sipe/u plavetnilu mora./Udarac vesla.",
"Prugasta macka/na terasi balkona./Trag boje."

Posebnu vrijednost ima senryu dozivljaj kojim se velemajstorski iskazuje egzistencijalni movens svakidasnjeg:

"Zguzvana u/maratonca jaja./Sunce ih przi.",
"golub mira/na drzavnoj granici/ispusti govno"
"Talibani i/dvadesetprvo stoljece./Zute znacke!"

I nekoliko "toplih slika" u kojima blaguje trenutak vedrine i ljepote kojom se iskazuje cistota zivota:

"Mahanje/uz osmijeh djevojcice/konjskim repom.",
"Velika soba/za malenog psica./Trazi kost.",
"nocu i danju/nad mojom ravnicom -/ja i vjetar"

U 63 vrsnih haiku/senryu trostiha Borivoj Bukva i ovom
zbirkom svjedoci o haiku bivstvovanju na vjerodostojan,
predani nacin i potvrdjuje se kao svjetski priznati haijin.

TIME IS THE BEST RUNNER
---


Many different processes of the universal spiritual
development, determining spirit of the third millennium, have been occurring in the planetary polylogistical area. The same stands for various
kinds of artistic expressions. Haiku is a planetary phenomenon belonging to that process. Haiku poetry - just a marginal epiphenomenona in the mind of national cultures - is, in its essence, a planetary indicator of the spiritual poetry.
Haiku poets no longer write to "each other" in an exclusive microcosms of some illusory elitism. They are indicators of new time and the planetary
polylogistical openness aiming at the enrichment of life. Beyond the guild and other cultural powers, they draw nearer the values of the planetary community and serve as an evidence of dignity, not only of the poetic word, but also of spiritual life on the whole.
Like Koi Nagata and 'kongen" (meaning "existing"),
Borivoj Bukva traces his haiku way with his superb poetry. Realizing "haiku heart" and "haiku eyes", he, in this new collection of 63 haiku and senryu
tree-rhymes, testifies, by means of "tzu-jan" ("what is of itself"), that is haijin's "sonomama" ("just that", "just that way"), that "wabi" - by means of
which every encounter, every experience of an essential moment in life becomes a haiku moment.
Deep pain and suffering of a historical fate become an esthetically bearable image and a human cry, an ascent toward beauty of a higher life:

"A rotation target/on the rifle barrel./A trace of
*a butterfly.",
"Cry of a baby/and bloody diapers./Dead Mother."
"A light breeze/and a bomb hitting the ground/Scent
of a violet."

An image of movement and ingrainment in a moment of
presence is powerfully expressed in these rhymes:

"The old boots/splash, splashing along the road/-It's drizzling."
"The blackness of a cuttlefish/in the blueness of the sea./A stroke of an oar."
"A striped cat/on the balcony./A trace of color."

A special value is that of a senryu experience
masterfully depicting an existential movement of regular occurrences:

"A marathoner's/squeezed balls/tanning in the sun."
"A dove of peace/on the national border/drops his
shit"
"Thalibans and/the 21st century./Yellow badges!"

As well as in some "worm images" where a moment of
clarity and beauty dwells to depict purity of life:

"Waving/ her ponytail/a smiling girl.."
"Too big a room/for a small puppy/searching for a
bone."
"By day and at night/above my plain -/the wind and I."

With his 63 outstanding haiku and senryu three-rhyme
collection, Borivoj Bukva testifies the existence of haiku in a trustworthy and devoted way, confirming himself as an internationally prominent haijin.
