ヒロシマの氏神は何をしていたのか
The god
Of Hiroshima
What was he doing?
からだの風景を鷹が舞っている
A hawk dances
the landscape
of your body
人体の風土記つぶさに書いており
The history
on our bodies is written
in fine detail
今朝の秋きのうのおれがまだ着かぬ
An autumn morning
Who I was yesterday
Has yet to come by
おおかみに螢が一つ付いていた
on the wolf
a lone
firefly
ここのところに俺の子枯山もう暗い
here is my child
a desolate mountain
still dark
始動する／地球 磁気のように／木の葉あつめ
Starting up/
The world, like a magnet/
Gathers leaves
死魚浮いて一月の空遠くある
Dead fish floating
and the January sky
is so far away
冷凍魚ぶらさげ光のない壁に
Frozen fish hang
lightless
on the wall
兵隊の誰もが持つ遥かなるまなざし
All soldiers have it
That distant look
敬礼の上手と下手は生れつきだ
Being good or bad
at giving a salute
is something you’re born with
炎天や行くもかへるも溶岩のみち
Blistering heat –
Coming or going
A path of lava
恋煩いだろうか血を吐き胸が痛む
Could this be lovesickness?
I’m coughing up blood
and my heart aches
舞いたい鶴舞いたくない鶴一緒に舞う
The crane that wants to dance
And the crane that does not want to dance
They dance together
雨にぬれて花びら心もち発熱する
Flower petals
Wet with rain
Slightly feverish
風が消え村が消え一月の細身の鴉
The wind disappears
The town disappears
A slender January crow
あらたまの龍馬が奔る青海原
precious stone
horses galloping
the deep blue sea
