eating
the lonely parts
of my insides
in this life
we dig the graves
of all we love
this pain
from stepping on
an ammonite
my heart
has become a mermaid
that can’t return to sea
I do not regret
gambling with my life
it stokes the fire
hands reaching
grasping for eternity
is this hell?
内臓のさみしい部分食べている
この生に愛した数の墓を掘る
この痛みアンモナイトを踏んでから
本心は海に帰れぬ人魚なり
一命を賭けて悔いなし火を掲ぐ
差し出す手握るは無間地獄かな
