Poem
Toshikazu Yasumizu
Is that a human voice?
Is that a human voice?The sound that is thin and muffled.
We can hear it. It is there.
Now it’s gone.
We still hear… it’s still there.
That sound.

This poem, as was \'Kobe, another war 50 years ago\', was written in the wake of the great earthquake disaster in 1995.
人の声かしら
人の声かしら
人の声かしら。ほそぼそときこえるあれは。
きこえている。
きこえなくなる。
まだきこえている。
あれは。
