Poems
One Other Thing
Translated by Sawako Nagasu

A thicket of asparagus
Dives into the dirty afternoon sun
Their stems cut off by glass
Blue blood streams down the window
And on the other side
Is the sound of a fern unfurling

Translated by Miryam Sas

A group of asparagus
Dives into the afternoon sun, dirty
Their stems are severed by glass
Blue blood running down the window
On the other side
The sound of a fern unwinding

他の一つのもの

アスパラガスの茂みが
午後のよごれた太陽の中へ飛びこむ
硝子で切りとられる茎
青い血が窓を流れる
その向ふ側で
ゼンマイのほぐれる音がする
