Saturday, July 26, 2003 黒アゲハ木槿より出で浮揚する白昼夢なれその影追わず A black swallowtail comes out of the athaea
Shafts of light go straight into its ridgeline
When business hours start to scatter travelers
Bush clover starts to greet evening wanderers
Ask clouds if it's not time yet to expect autumn
I listen to it in my back weeding in the garden at noon
Only to breathe among trees away from the crowd
Let me dry my sentiment along with them
With a landmine in a hole he dug for himself on a beach in Shimokita Peninsura
The machine acts rebelliously to deny me
He departs westward with his costume swishing after reading the sutras
They return to their childhood half drunken
Early in the morning of rainy clouds all alone
Mountainous districts without shame in its deformation
Who i
n old days held her babies lovingly
Shinobazu-no-Ike for them is dewy green
Utters good-by in a young man's bass in the falling rain
Continues weaving in spite of its instability
Lecturing a passenger "the autumnal rain front"
Born Tokyoites look native left in the vacant city
I smile at the weather-chart with no excuse
Waves are washing the sisters respectively
Make me do as he does to my excessive words
Abandoned Kanto-Area scattring pale green acorns
With tora-no-o to show what nothing can detain
So I talk to kunugi (sawtooth oak) in a small forest
Reminds me of the past days to make me stand still
Cicadas won't stop their chorus for the distant thunder
I meet the bright blue sky
With his thirteen-year-old son is our father's impression
At the middle of the stem in the first morning of summer
I go back along the railway to be 20 again
Of appeals in campus for youthful heat devils
Tokyo bound for which swiftly a boat goes in the bay
Who walks pushing a shopping cart in a tiny town
Tigerlilies wait with their mouths widely open
The eel I bought released me in a distant waterside
The shade of a floating daydream, I won't follow you
