AND THEN
When it is summeragain
cicadas cry
fireworks are
frozen
in my memory
a distant country is
hazy, but
the Cosmos is right in front of my nose
what divine grace —
a man
can die
leaving behind
just a conjunction:
and then

そして
そして
夏になればまた
蝉が鳴く
花火が
記憶の中で
フリーズしている
遠い国は
おぼろだが
宇宙は鼻の先
なんという恩寵
人は
死ねる
そしてという
接続詞だけを
残して
