<p class="wp-block-paragraph">PoemBlog ～詩のブログ～ へようこそ。<br>Each poem is followed by its English translation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ある集会にて</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">調子を合わせなくてはならないのですか<br>ごたごたがもやもやするから<br>好きではないのですよ</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">私は遠い<br>些末も遠い</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">真上にぶら下がっていた<br>不安果実がポトン</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">噛み合わない鎮静と悲哀の余韻<br>枯草のやるせなさ<br>窓から見えるのは<br>コンクリーの打ちっ放しの空</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">厚かましさが才能の一つなのでしょうね<br>残る問題はいくつあるのですか<br>助言はないのですね</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">未来の立場は求められる集会<br>分厚い正義に<br>つきまとう言葉の響きが耳をつんざく</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">初観察を送信　<br>初接触の感情</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">滑稽は説明を伏せられる<br>振動の中心軸は後ずさりする<br>はずんで見せたりする<br>店番には商売っ気のない老人が微笑する</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">私は遠い<br>哀切も遠い</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">ミルク雲きれい<br>クシャクシャヨレヨレワイシャツ<br>アイロンかけ<br>テーブルのメモをポケットに忍ばせて<br>アパートを飛び出す</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">公園のひんやりとする砂地に吸い込まれた<br>過去の袖口から<br>ニョキニョキと定めの腕が伸びる<br>地平線をつかもうとして</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">＃詩<br>＃詩のブログ</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">At a Gathering</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Must I match their rhythm?<br>I don’t like the clutter,<br>the fog of tangled voices.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am distant—<br>even trivial things are far away.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From straight above,<br>a fruit of anxiety drops—plop.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Uneasy calm, the aftertaste of sorrow,<br>the futility of dried grass.<br>Through the window,<br>only bare concrete sky.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Perhaps audacity is one kind of talent.<br>How many problems remain?<br>No advice, I see.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The gathering that demands<br>a future stance—<br>words of thick righteousness<br>pierce the ears with their echo.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">First observation—sent.<br>First contact—emotion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Absurdity keeps its explanation sealed.<br>The axis of vibration steps back,<br>pretends to bounce.<br>An old shopkeeper,<br>without a hint of business, smiles.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am distant—<br>even sorrow is far away.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Milk-white clouds—beautiful.<br>Wrinkled, rumpled shirt—<br>iron it flat.<br>A note from the table,<br>slipped into a pocket,<br>I dash out of the apartment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the park’s cool sand<br>I’m drawn inward.<br>From the cuff of my past,<br>arms of destiny sprout,<br>reaching—<br>to grasp the horizon.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">#poem<br>#poemblog</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">この詩に込めた思い</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">集団の熱にまきこまれることへの拒絶から始まった。<br>声を合わせることに疲れ、沈黙の方が正直だと感じた。<br>同調のなかで、心は少しずつ輪郭を失っていく。<br>だがその距離の中でしか見えない光がある。</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">「ミルク雲きれい」という一行は、<br>混沌のただ中でふと見上げた空の、無垢な一瞬を描いている。<br>終盤の「地平線をつかもうとして」は、<br>諦めきれない生の衝動そのもの。<br>人と関わりながらも、遠く離れ、<br>それでもなお生きようとする心の記録である。</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Thoughts Behind the Poem</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The poem begins with resistance—<br>a refusal to be swept into the fever of the crowd.<br>I grew weary of matching voices; silence felt more truthful.<br>Within conformity, the self slowly fades,<br>yet only from that distance does a faint light appear.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The line <em>“Milk-white clouds—beautiful”</em> captures<br>a brief moment of purity amid the confusion of living.<br>The final image, <em>“to grasp the horizon,”</em><br>embodies the stubborn impulse to keep reaching.<br>It is a record of one who stands apart,<br>still breathing, still alive, within the noise of others.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">有名な雨</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">光が大地に深く溶け込む<br>眠れる者が呼び醒まされた</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">汗をぬぐいソーダ水を飲み干し<br>塔の頂点を見つめていた</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">三千色の虹が民家の上に架かる<br>大地から黒々とした拳ほどの金属片が<br>塔の頂点まで一気に上がり踊りはじめた</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">初めに何があったのかを考え<br>行為そのものではなかったかと考える</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">片足で歩いてきた道をくるりと振り返ると<br>驚いたことにもう一方の足が歩いていた<br>奇跡だと思いながら<br>その足が来るまで待機した</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">「これまで長い道のりだったが<br>この先もそうに違いないだろう」<br>と大地が呼応した<br>信号機も標識も街灯もない道だ</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">（有名な雨）は辺り一面を<br>容赦なく黒色に塗りつぶした<br>太陽が姿を消したのは本当だ</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">（有名な雨）が矢のように降らせる<br>幻と現実が交差する<br>（有名な雨）には音がない</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">＃詩<br>＃詩のブログ</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Famous Rain</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Light seeps deep into the earth.<br>The sleepers are called awake.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wiping sweat, I drain the soda,<br>gazing at the tower’s tip.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A rainbow of three thousand colors<br>arches above the houses.<br>From the soil, black fragments—fists of metal—<br>rise to the tower’s peak and begin to dance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think of what came first,<br>perhaps not a thing but the act itself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Turning around on one-legged steps,<br>I find the other foot walking.<br>A miracle, I think,<br>and wait until it arrives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The road has been long,<br>and will remain so,”<br>the earth replies.<br>No traffic lights, no signs, no lamps—<br>just the road.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>(Famous Rain)</em> paints the land<br>mercilessly in black.<br>The sun truly vanished.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>(Famous Rain)</em> falls like arrows—<br>where illusion and reality cross.<br><em>(Famous Rain)</em> has no sound.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">#poem<br>#poemblog</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">この詩に込めた思い</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">この詩は、世界が静かに再構築される瞬間を描いている。<br>光が沈み、眠りが醒め、行為だけが存在の証となる。<br>「有名な雨」は出来事ではなく、内なる転換点としての象徴。</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">片足で歩くという不完全な存在が、<br>もう一方の足と再会することで、<br>“行為そのものが生きること”だと知る。</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">音のない雨は、破壊でも悲嘆でもなく、<br>すべてを包み込む沈黙の再生。<br>その静寂の中に、初めて「真の現実」が姿を現す。<br>この詩は、喪失のあとに訪れる沈黙の啓示を描いている。</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Thoughts Behind the Poem</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This poem depicts the quiet reconstruction of the world.<br>Light sinks, sleep awakens, and only action remains as proof of existence.<br><em>“Famous Rain”</em> is not an event, but an inner turning point.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The one-legged traveler finds the other foot—<br>and realizes that to act is to live.<br>The rain without sound is neither ruin nor grief,<br>but a silence that embraces all things.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Within that stillness, true reality begins to appear.<br>It is a revelation born after loss,<br>a sacred moment when the world begins again—<br>wordless, yet unmistakably alive.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">#poem<br>#poemblog</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">嵐</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">嵐がやって来そうだ<br>鉛色の雲が龍のように動いている<br>龍の鱗がピカリと不気味に光る<br><br>嵐が来たならば<br>公園の木々の葉は飛ばされるだろう<br>幹と枝だけの姿となるだろう<br><br>私は<br>そのような木々の葉だろうか<br>私は<br>そのような木々の葉にならぬように<br>耐えなくてはならない<br>龍が睨んでいる<br>何という恐ろしい形相だろうか</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">＃詩<br>＃詩のブログ</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Storm</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A storm is coming.<br>Lead-colored clouds move like a dragon.<br>Its scales flash with eerie light.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the storm arrives,<br>the leaves of the park trees<br>will be blown away,<br>leaving only trunks and branches.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Am I one of those leaves?<br>I must endure—<br>so that I will not become one of them.<br>The dragon stares,<br>what a terrifying face it wears.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">#poem<br>#poemblog</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">この詩に込めた思い</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">この詩は、自然の「嵐」を借りて、心の中の「恐怖」と「試練」を描いている。<br>龍は、外的な脅威であると同時に、内側に潜む巨大な不安の象徴。<br>嵐にさらされる木々の葉のように、自分の意志が吹き飛ばされそうになる瞬間、<br>人は試される。</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">「私はそのような木々の葉だろうか」という問いは、<br>自己の弱さへの自覚であり、同時に抵抗の始まりでもある。<br>最後まで立っているためには、恐怖の正体を直視しなければならない。<br>嵐の中でこそ、人間の芯が問われる。</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Thoughts Behind the Poem</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This poem uses the storm as a mirror for the mind’s own turmoil.<br>The dragon is both an external threat and a symbol of inner fear—<br>the force that strips away what is fragile.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the wind rises,<br>the self trembles like a leaf.<br>The question, <em>“Am I one of those leaves?”</em><br>marks the beginning of awareness,<br>the moment when resistance is born.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To remain standing,<br>one must face the dragon’s gaze—<br>the embodiment of fear itself.<br>In the heart of the storm,<br>the core of being is revealed.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">潮にさらわれるカレンダー</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ⅰ<br>カレンダーは海の底の底にあり<br>めくられなかった日付は　藻の細書体で上書きされ、<br>祝日の赤は魚の鰓にたなびく微光へと溶け<br>約束の印は　眠り忘れられた手紙の糊となって剥がれていく<br>砂の層は層を呼び　年は年を呼び<br>頁は頁の墓をつくる<br>そこで私は　耳介の奥に残る微かな軋み――<br>世界のどこかで　まだ続いている会議の椅子の音を聴く<br>海月の透明な背を月曜がよぎり<br>火曜は礁の角で丸く欠け<br>水曜は一しずくの深度となり<br>木曜は根を失って漂い<br>金曜は小魚の群れに紛れてきらめき<br>土曜は岩棚の継ぎ目に眠り<br>日曜だけが泡になって　指先で弾けた</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ⅱ<br>行事予定は空の上の上にある<br>風は白紙の余白をめくる翻訳前の羊皮紙のように<br>亡霊たちは議題を読み上げる――<br>「開始」「終了」「継続」<br>そのどれもが同じ輪郭で<br>雲の綻びから零れた光だけが<br>議事録の余白に判子の影を押していく<br>私は虚空に吊られたダイヤモンドの歯車を<br>別の歯車へ　そしてまた別の歯車へと<br>幾度も嚙み合わせようとする<br>嚙み合うたび　無音が鳴り<br>嚙み損ねるたび　遠雷が笑う<br>時計たちは互いを読めない文字盤となる<br>分針は分針の影をなぞる術を忘れ<br>秒針だけが　誰にも読まれない祈りの文法で震えている</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ⅲ<br>まばたきのたび　光景は潮にさらわれる<br>――なぜ　何ひとつ残らないのか<br>瞼の裏で昨日と明日の継ぎ目が擦り切れ<br>縫い目から漏れた薄光は<br>未投函の招待状の宛名だけを白く漂白する<br>私の掌に残ったのは　消印の押されていない封筒<br>開ければ空気　閉じれば海<br>封緘はほどけかけ　糸はむしろ強まって<br>結び目は知らぬあいだに増殖をはじめる<br>一つの結びが別の結びの母音となり<br>ほどく指先が　ほどかれる私の名を呼ぶ<br>誰も知らない筆致で書かれた今日付は<br>潮の塩分濃度に応じて<br>濃く　薄く　あるいは書かれなかったことにされる</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ⅳ<br>二羽のギンムクドリが東西の空からやってくる<br>それぞれの嘴に「予約受付」と記された布を銜え<br>公園の樹木に幟のように掲げる<br>風が枝を鳴らし　透明な群衆が列をつくる<br>彼らは影であり　名簿であり<br>まだ存在しない到着の　先回りした証人である<br>誰も座らないベンチは肘掛けに肘を置き<br>空席の背凭れは　見えない誰かの重みで一瞬沈む<br>列の先頭に立つのは「未遂」という名の係員<br>最後尾を整えるのは「延期」という名の子供<br>私は　列の途中で何度も抜かされ<br>番の来る手前で呼ばれもしない<br>呼ばれなかった番号札は<br>胸ポケットの影の中で<br>ゆっくりと潮騒の温度を帯びていく</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ⅴ<br>潮騒の裏側で見えない時計が泣いている<br>涙は波頭に触れて立ち消え<br>しかし消えたことが　時間の証拠となる<br>ひとつの瞬間が千の断片へ砕け<br>砕けた断片がなおも「今」と名乗る<br>私は頁をめくるふりをしながら<br>見えない日付を掌の熱で押さえつけた<br>それはかつて恋と呼ばれた何かの残響<br>まだ名前のない痛覚の灯であり<br>玄関に掛け忘れられた鍵の音のようでもある<br>海底の図書館では<br>塩にやられた司書蟹が目録を作り直し<br>背表紙のない本だけを丁寧に棚に戻していく<br>章のない章　目次に記されない順序<br>索引の語が本文のどこにもない喜劇あるいは悲劇<br>読まれないことが　読みの最奥であるかのように</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ⅵ<br>私は　遠い磯の端でカレンダーが裏返るのを見る<br>裏面には文字がない――<br>しかし白さこそが記録であり<br>記されないことによって輪郭を獲得する<br>何年と何年の間で溺れた街路があり<br>そこでは横断歩道の白線が魚群の通り道となる<br>信号は常に黄で<br>渡る者にだけ　赤い警告が点る<br>私の靴底は砂を噛み<br>砂は私の重さを採寸し<br>採寸は誰にも渡されない服を仕立てはじめる<br>着ることのない一張羅<br>晴れないまま終わる予報<br>入場しない客のために開け放たれた劇場の扉<br>いまだ来ない来場者のための湿った招待状である<br>そのすべてが</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ⅶ<br>夜の深みで　星図は潮位表と重なり<br>航海用の六分儀は涙の角度を測る器具に変わる<br>私は目盛りを読む――<br>角度はいつも　眩暈の手前で止まり<br>数値は必ず　小数点以下に流砂を飼う<br>測られたものは測られないものの影で<br>影はいつも　本体よりも先に濡れる<br>私は濡れた影の端を絞り<br>そこから滴る音節を<br>暗記できない詩のために集める　集める<br>声に出すたび　音節は潮の塩で少し欠け<br>欠けたところが　口の中で光る　どす黒く<br>食べられない光<br>言語の最古の掟が　海鳴りに混じって復唱される</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ⅷ<br>朝の手前<br>私は最後の頁を閉じないまま机を離れる<br>閉じないことが　今日を起こす仕草になると知っているからか<br>遠くでギンムクドリが二度　断念するように鳴く<br>その鳴き声は幟を揺らし<br>幟は「予約受付」の文字を<br>まだ読めない幼児の瞳にまで届く高さへ掲げる<br>誰かがやってくる<br>やってこない誰かがやってくる――<br>矛盾　到来の最初の前奏曲<br>私は戸口に立ち<br>開けるでもなく　閉めるでもなく<br>蝶番の古い関節に耳をすます<br>軋みは潮の方向と一致し<br>方向は羅針の沈黙に一致し<br>沈黙は私の呼吸数と一致して<br>今日という名の圧力を作る</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ⅸ<br>海の底の底<br>カレンダーはなおも<br>誰にもめくられないまま<br>藻の筆跡で上書きされ続ける<br>そこへ新しい頁が落ちてくるたび<br>古い頁は自己を譲り<br>譲りながら　譲られない何かの名を　水中にひっそり書く<br>読み方のない固有名<br>辞書に記されない順番<br>その不可読の並びが<br>私の皮膚の内側で脈打ち出す<br>私はゆっくりと袖を捲り<br>潮見の浅い血管で時をはかる<br>拍動は一定で　一定であることが、<br>いかに不確かの別名であるかを思い出す<br>深呼吸<br>胸腔の空洞に小さな潮汐を起こす<br>満ち　引き<br>引き　満ちる<br>繰り返す<br>人に任された唯一の歯車</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ⅹ<br>――世界は潮にさらわれてゆく<br>それでも私は頁を閉じない<br>閉じない<br>この欠けた歯列が<br>まだやわらかな果実を噛む日を待つ<br>透明な群衆は列をほどき<br>幟は枝から静かに降り<br>「予約受付」の文字は<br>読み手の心音の上に　見えない印影をつける<br>誰もいないベンチに　時間だけが座っている<br>背凭れは海の色をして<br>座面は空の温度を溜めている<br>その横を通り過ぎ<br>通り過ぎた証拠に<br>何も落とさないこと　選ぶ<br>振り向かないことが<br>今日　私に許された最初の署名<br>それが　今日の　日付<br>まだ破られていない約束だ<br>いつか開封するはずの<br>封をしていない封書の<br>確かな重さだ<br>潮が寄せてくる。<br>私はポケットの中で番号札を握り<br>呼ばれないまま、<br>呼ばれるすべての名に<br>うなずく</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Calendar Swept Away by the Tide</strong></h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">I</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The calendar lies at the very bottom of the sea.<br>Unturned dates overwritten in the fine cursive of seaweed,<br>the red of holidays dissolving into faint light<br>that trembles along the gills of fish,<br>promises peeling away like forgotten glue on a letter.<br>Layer calls to layer,<br>year calls to year.<br>Pages build the grave of pages.<br>Inside the cochlea’s quiet chamber,<br>I hear the faint creak of chairs—<br>some meeting still continuing somewhere in the world.<br>Monday passes across the transparent back of a jellyfish.<br>Tuesday chips itself smooth upon a reef’s corner.<br>Wednesday sinks into a single drop of depth.<br>Thursday drifts, unrooted.<br>Friday glimmers inside a school of small fish.<br>Saturday sleeps between the seams of rock.<br>Only Sunday bursts as a bubble at my fingertip.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Schedules dwell high,<br>high above the upper sky.<br>The wind turns the margin of a blank parchment—<br>as if translating before language was born.<br>Ghosts recite the agenda:<br>“Begin.” “End.” “Continue.”<br>Each word with the same outline.<br>Light leaks through a tear in the cloud<br>and stamps its shadow upon the minutes of heaven.<br>I reach toward diamond gears suspended in emptiness,<br>fitting one into another, again and again.<br>When they meet, silence rings.<br>When they fail, thunder laughs.<br>The clocks become dials that can no longer read each other.<br>The minute hand forgets how to follow its own shadow.<br>Only the second hand trembles—<br>in a grammar of prayer no one can decipher.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">III</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With every blink, the scene is washed away by the tide.<br>—Why does nothing remain?<br>Behind my eyelids, yesterday and tomorrow fray at the seam.<br>Light seeps from the stitch,<br>bleaching the names on unposted invitations.<br>In my palm remains an envelope<br>unstamped, unopened—<br>open it, and it becomes air;<br>close it, and it becomes sea.<br>The seal loosens; the thread tightens.<br>Knots multiply in secret.<br>One knot becomes the vowel of another.<br>The fingers that untie it<br>call out the name that is myself, undone.<br>Today’s date, written in no one’s hand,<br>shifts tone with the salinity of the tide—<br>dark, pale, or simply erased.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">IV</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Two starlings fly in from east and west.<br>Each carries in its beak a strip of cloth<br>reading <em>Now Accepting Reservations.</em><br>They hang it from the park’s trees like a banner.<br>The wind plays the branches.<br>A transparent crowd forms a line.<br>They are shadows, ledgers,<br>witnesses to an arrival that has not yet existed.<br>An empty bench rests its elbows on its armrests.<br>Its back leans slightly—<br>weighted by someone unseen.<br>At the head of the line stands a clerk named “Attempted.”<br>At the end, a child named “Postponed.”<br>I am overtaken again and again,<br>never called, not even near my turn.<br>The uncalled number in my pocket<br>slowly warms with the temperature of the surf.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">V</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Behind the sound of surf, an unseen clock is weeping.<br>Its tears vanish on the crest of waves—<br>and that vanishing itself becomes proof of time.<br>A single instant shatters into a thousand fragments,<br>and each fragment still dares to call itself <em>now.</em><br>I pretend to turn a page,<br>pressing an invisible date with the heat of my palm.<br>It is the residue once called love—<br>a nameless flame of pain,<br>perhaps the sound of a key left hanging in a door.<br>In the library beneath the sea,<br>a salt-damaged librarian crab rebuilds the catalog,<br>returning only spine-less books to their shelves.<br>Chapters without chapters.<br>Orders unlisted in any table of contents.<br>Index words that appear nowhere in the text—<br>a farce, or perhaps a theology.<br>Unreadability itself: the ultimate form of reading.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">VI</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From a distant shore I watch a calendar flip.<br>Its reverse side bears no text—<br>and yet whiteness is its record.<br>To remain unwritten is to acquire a boundary.<br>Between one year and the next lies a drowned street<br>where crosswalk lines become paths for fish.<br>Traffic lights stay yellow.<br>Red glows only for those who dare to cross.<br>Sand bites the soles of my shoes,<br>measures my weight,<br>and tailors a garment for no one to wear.<br>An unused suit,<br>a forecast that never clears,<br>a theater door left open for absent guests—<br>each one a damp invitation<br>for arrivals that never arrive.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">VII</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the depth of night, star maps merge with tide charts.<br>The sextant becomes an instrument<br>for measuring the angle of tears.<br>I read the scale:<br>the degree halts just before vertigo.<br>Numbers keep quicksand below their decimals.<br>Everything measured is the shadow of what escapes measure.<br>And shadow wets itself before the body does.<br>I wring its edge;<br>from it drip syllables—<br>collected for a poem that cannot be memorized.<br>Each spoken aloud, each chipped by salt,<br>and the chipped parts shine darkly inside my mouth.<br>Light you cannot eat.<br>Speech you cannot swallow.<br><em>Shi-ori, shio-ri, shio-sato</em>—<br>the ocean repeats the oldest rule of language:<br>same sound, never same meaning.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">VIII</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Just before morning,<br>I leave my desk with the last page open.<br>To leave it open is the gesture that awakens the day.<br>Far off, the starlings cry twice—<br>a sound of renunciation.<br>The banner trembles.<br>“Now Accepting Reservations”<br>rises to a height even a child who cannot yet read can see.<br>Someone is coming.<br>Someone who never comes is coming.<br>Paradox—the prelude to arrival.<br>I stand in the doorway,<br>neither opening nor closing it,<br>listening to the hinge’s old joint.<br>The creak aligns with the tide.<br>The tide aligns with the compass’s silence.<br>Silence aligns with my breathing.<br>Together they form the pressure called <em>today.</em></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">IX</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the bottom of the sea<br>the calendar continues to be overwritten by algae’s script.<br>Each new page that falls<br>makes the old one yield,<br>yet while yielding, it inscribes a name<br>that cannot be yielded.<br>An unpronounceable proper noun,<br>an order no lexicon records—<br>its illegible pattern begins pulsing<br>beneath my skin.<br>I roll up my sleeve,<br>measure time in the shallow tide of my veins.<br>The beat is constant,<br>and constancy is only another name for uncertainty.<br>I inhale deeply.<br>A small tide stirs inside the hollow of my chest.<br>Ebb. Flow.<br>Flow. Ebb.<br>The repetition itself—<br>the only gear entrusted to humankind.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">X</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">—The world is being swept away by the tide.<br>Still, I do not close the page.<br>Not closing becomes a form of faith.<br>This broken row of teeth<br>waits to bite into a tender fruit again.<br>The transparent crowd dissolves its line.<br>The banners descend from branches.<br>The words “Now Accepting Reservations”<br>leave an invisible stamp on the reader’s heartbeat.<br>On the bench sits time alone.<br>Its back the color of sea,<br>its seat holding the warmth of sky.<br>I pass by.<br>And as proof of passing,<br>I choose to drop nothing.<br>Not turning back—<br>that is today’s first permitted signature.<br>That is today’s date.<br>The unbroken promise.<br>The unsealed letter<br>I am destined to open someday.<br>The tide comes in.<br>Inside my pocket I grip a number tag,<br>uncalled,<br>and quietly nod<br>to every name that ever will be called.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">この詩に込めた思い</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">「潮にさらわれるカレンダー」は、時間という概念の崩壊と再生を描いた詩である。<br>海底に沈むカレンダーは、人間が積み重ねてきた「記録」や「約束」の象徴であり、<br>潮にさらわれていく光景は、記憶や言葉の無力さ、そして再びそれを拾い上げようとする意志を意味している。<br>この詩は、時間を直線的にではなく、螺旋のように循環する存在の呼吸として捉えている。<br>失われるものの中にこそ「生」の真実があり、読まれない頁、呼ばれない名、封をしていない封書――そのすべてが、なお「今」を証明している。人間の営みは、潮に洗われながらもなお、沈黙のなかで輝きを発し続ける。</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Thoughts Behind the Poem</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>“The Calendar Swept Away by the Tide”</em> is a meditation on the collapse and rebirth of time.<br>The sunken calendar represents the record of human promises, memories, and futile attempts to measure the infinite.<br>As the tide erases its pages, it reveals the fragility of language and memory—<br>yet also the will to reach once more for meaning.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Time in this poem is not linear but spiral,<br>a breathing motion between disappearance and return.<br>In what vanishes, the truth of life resides:<br>the unread page, the uncalled name, the unsealed letter—<br>each is proof that <em>now</em> still exists.<br>Through erasure and silence,<br>human existence continues to shine,<br>like a faint light trembling beneath the tide.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ある日</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">休むことをしないコンビニエンスストアで<br>一休みした<br>だからいつもこのコンビニエンスストアの<br>ATMにキャッシュカードを差し込んで<br>幻を買うためだけのお金をおろしている</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">幻を目指してダッシュする<br>四方八方にダッシュの音を奏でてみたのだ<br>処方箋は空を舞いつつ安らかだ</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">素直さと反抗心の交錯は休むことをしない<br>薬局の自動扉が開いた</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Certain Day</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At a convenience store<br>that never rests,<br>I took a rest.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I always slide my cash card<br>into the sleepless ATM,<br>withdrawing just enough<br>to buy an illusion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I dash toward that illusion,<br>letting my footsteps<br>compose a rhythm<br>in every direction.<br>The prescription floats in the air,<br>peaceful as it drifts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The crossing of sincerity and rebellion<br>never rests.<br>The automatic door of the pharmacy<br>opens.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">この詩に込めた思い</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">の詩「ある日」は、現代都市に生きる人間の孤独と自己矛盾を描いている。<br>「休むことをしないコンビニエンスストア」は、社会の24時間化、そして人間が休むことを許されない時代の象徴である。<br>その中で「一休みした」と語る語り手は、矛盾そのものを生きている。<br>幻とは、幸福・安らぎ・救済――つまり人間が心のどこかで求め続ける“救い”の比喩である。<br>「素直さと反抗心の交錯は休むことをしない」という一行に、人間存在の根源的な緊張が凝縮されている。最後の自動扉が開く瞬間、現実と幻の境界が静かに解かれ、読者は言葉の外へと導かれる。</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Thoughts Behind the Poem</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>A Certain Day”</em> portrays the solitude and paradox of modern existence.<br>The convenience store that never rests stands as a symbol of a society<br>that runs without pause—an era where even rest must be purchased.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The speaker’s quiet act of “taking a rest” within that sleepless space<br>reveals both resignation and defiance.<br>The “illusion” is a metaphor for comfort, salvation, or a fragment of peace—<br>something humans endlessly chase but can never fully attain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The line <em>“The crossing of sincerity and rebellion never rests”</em><br>embodies the tension of being human:<br>to obey the system and resist it at the same time.<br>When the automatic door opens,<br>it is not merely a pharmacy door—<br>it is the threshold between reality and illusion,<br>between the human heart and the mechanical world that sustains it.</p>
