Gedicht
Shuntaro Tanikawa
Toba 7
With my sulky mouth shutagain I am unjust to words
As my punishment
I hear the ocean tide through the night
I write:
all poetry is empty words
and I continue writing
My child wakes up suddenly in the middle of the night
she sobs quite a while
I want to be honest
Even a dying soldier is not honest
My cigarette ashes fall on my lap
I will not dream now
though I am so sleepy

鳥羽 7
鳥羽 7
口はすねたように噤んだまままたしても私の犯す言葉の不正
その罰として
終夜聞く潮騒
すべての詩は美辞麗句
そう書いて
なお書き継ぐ
夜半に突然眼を覚まし
ひとしきり啜り泣く私の幼い娘
私は正直になりたい
瀕死の兵士すら正直ではない
煙草の火が膝に落ちる
もう夢を見る事もなかろう
こんなに睡いのだが
