A cloud has collapsed on the pavement
Like the horse’s white gasping for air
Night arrives, screaming and shouting into the darkness
Full of intention to assassinate time
Wearing a mask plated with light beams
In a single-file line from the window
People moan in their dreams
And fall from sleep to even deeper sleep
There, a stem that has gone pale
Like an exhausted despair
Supports the tall sky
An empty city with neither roads nor stars
My thoughts escape
That pitch-black metal house
Steal away the glimmer of pistons
And smoldering embers of noise
Retreat into a shallow ocean
Collide and get beaten down
舗道のうへに雲が倒れてゐる
白く馬があへぎまはつてゐる如く
夜が暗闇に向つて叫びわめきながら
時を殺害するためにやつて来る
光線をめつきしたマスクをつけ
窓から一列に並んでゐた
人々は夢のなかで呻き
眠りから更に深い眠りへと落ちてゆく
そこでは血の気の失せた幹が
疲れ果て絶望のやうに
高い空を支へてゐる
道もなく星もない空虚な街
私の思考はその金属製の
真黒い家を抜けだし
ピストンのかがやきや
燃え残つた騒音を奪ひ去り
低い海へ退却し
突きあたり打ちのめされる
