Ⅰ Cicadas
１ 蝉
A cicada leaped to my eyes
Quiescence suddenly changed to noisiness
静寂がひたと反転蝉飛びぬ
A pair of cicada's alea in a drift;
Evidance of life was swept off
一対の蝉羽掃けり吹き溜まる
Scream of entreaty
of cast-off skin of cicada,
Don't tread on: I heard
な踏みそ、空蝉叫ぶ声がして
Transient life of cicada:
the shapely cast-off skin clasps
fast to swaying vine
空蝉やしっかり掴む蔦が揺れ
The cicada collectors:
infant brothers cling to a trunk
as the targets do
蝉を捕る兄弟幹に張り付いて
２ ジョン レノン
Unwatched the usual program "Ko-Haku"
on New Year's Eve,
I watched "Beatles' anthology", insteasd
紅白は見ず大年のビートルズ
Seeing the old year out,
John Lennon is speaking on television
in his young voice
年惜しむ若き声してジョンレノン
This year is departing
This unrerecordable music-tape of Lennon
I listen through the night
爪折りしレノンのテープ去年今年
'Twas an old diary
The Four spoke about themselves,
and made many good tunes
古日記四人の語り歌ふかな
The three in a withered field
sing a song in unison
with a bird in the sky
枯野人虚空の鳥に呼応して
Ⅲ City
３ 街
Springtime,
Vigorous OBP(Osaka Business Park) area
amuses the young
春興や凜々として街若き
The area is filled
with a big castle and buildings,
and with signs of spring as well
城とビル混み合う街の春戯れて
Ten thousands birds sing
in the trees at the bottom
of the skyscrapers
高層の谷間に木々や百千鳥
A lonely building made with
darkish glass windows
stands high in spring sky
黒金の瑠璃の料峭そそり立つ
On windy spring day
An access to internet
A walk on fashion street
春一番インターネットのファッション街
