by Mizuho Ishida
tr. Michiyo Sekine
A garden the alphabet swarms what is necessary for the walk is
Not dissolving yourself into greenery but, by passing through it,
Humming separating out something from magpies and fresh grass in the green
Depths, the hidden letters and rhymes should be watched and listened to
*
Slumbering Z, the furthest neighbor of
The mother tongue War, the shape of mouth open
The fruits of bayberries ripening deep
Ｅ
石田瑞穂
アルファベットの群がる庭 その散歩に必要なのは
緑への自身の溶け込みではなく緑を通過することで
鵲や嫩草からなにものかを析出するハミング 緑の
深みで眺め聴くべきは秘められた文字と韻律のほう
＊
母語のいちばん遠い隣で
まどろむＺ warは口が瞠く形
山桃の実がしんしんと熟れて
