Poems
Finale

Behind me, an old person sings of the sun and a cracked heart
The resonance of which collides into a thin wall of ebonite
And is unlikely to come to an end
Honeybees were buried by an abundance of fennel pollen
Summer was no longer nearby
Deep in the woods a tree is felled
Attenuated time comes quickly at first then gently passes by
So as not to fall behind
Leaving brown footprints on the withered field
All earthly marriage ceremonies have come to an end

老人が背後で われた心臓と太陽を歌ふ
その反響はうすいエボナイトの壁につきあたつて いつまでもをはることはないだらう
蜜蜂がゆたかな茴香の花粉にうもれてゐた
夏はもう近くにはゐなかつた
森の奥で樹が倒される
衰へた時が最初は早く やがて緩やかに過ぎてゆく
おくれないやうにと
枯れた野原を褐色の足跡をのこし
全く地上の婚礼は終つた
