Poem, TOKYO

by Mizuho Ishida
tr. Michiyo Sekine
“Snow,” I heard, and the fossil, a star collapse became words
The goddess of this town in her white 19th-century dress still
Sits, like a letter that has gone out by opening the envelop
*
At the end of May the middle finger was transparent
Like the wind, like a single machine
Rolling up summer galaxies flickering from the brain
Touching the first sound of VOCALOID with the bone

雪 と聴こえたら 化石 星の崩壊が言葉になった
この街の女神はいまも白い一九世紀のドレスを着て
座る 封を切ることから外出した手紙のように
＊
五月の果てに 中指が透けていた
風のように 独り身の機械のように
脳から耀いくだる夏銀河を捲り
VOCALOIDの初音に 骨でふれて
