Poem, TOKYO

by Mizuho Ishida
tr. Michiyo Sekine
Soul the soul that has been believed as the substance transcending time
Actually, without noticing eternity
Gets lighter with time, loses the form and materials,
Eventually the light the soul——a winged poem, if true
*
Pricking, stinging the emptiness, keeping
Broken, and living,
Punctum of an earbee

魂 時間を超越する実質 と考えられてきた魂が
じつのところ 永遠のことなど気にもとめずに
時が経つにつれて軽くなり形相も質料もやがては
光さえ喪う 魂とは—翼ある詩 だとすれば
＊
突く 空を刺す 毀れ
つづけながら 生きる
耳蜂のプンクトゥムよ
