Japanese Interpretation with Emi Oshiro    |    死が投げ縄を置いた時


死が投げ縄を置いた時
それ自身の
輪を締め付けなくてはならない


楕円形の皮が
求める者を包み込み
逃れようとした者を引き寄せる

持っていた物、
無くすべき物
全てを巻き付ける

愛が重みを与えると
喪失感が引っ張る
引き伸ばされた縄の輪の中に隠される

愛の捧げ物
残されたものはそのままに
虚無感もそのままに

山の窪みのあたりに
骨の色の光を見たか ?

それは結ぶところを視覚化する
縄の輪が締め付けられる前に
死が光をもって探す

巡り巡って
再び自分を
ループに引き込む

ランプを灯す
人工的な光が点る
その花びらの上に

しかし葉の構造はまだ成長する
優雅に
与えられた条件のもとで

根は分かれて
縄から
繊維になり
新しい投げ縄になり、
全てを縛る
死をも含めて
