Tsuda Nao

 

 

嵐が去った後　偶然発見された古代の住居跡が在ると聞き向かった

 

途中ストーンサークルを横断する時　真ん中に立ち　声を放つと

空気が膨らみ　波紋のように響き渡り　思わず後ろを振り返った

 

果てなき時間と戯れても　辿り着ける場所ではなかった

 

雨が降りはじめ　屋根のない家に飛び込んだ

水が土に染み込む音だけが道標となり　身体は運ばれてゆくようだった

 

組石の窓のそとに今は白い海が見える

来た道はもう遠くの線でしかなかった

 

足元の渦巻模様が階段の螺旋と重なり　円環は光の塔になっていった

After a storm, I headed for the remains of ancient dwellings which were said to have been discovered accidentally.

 

On the way, while crossing the stone circle, I stood at the center and raised my voice.

The air seemed to have expanded, echoing like spreading ripples, and I could not help looking back.

 

No matter how long I spent my time, it was impossible for me to reach my destination.

 

It had started to rain, and I jumped into a roof-less dwelling.

I could only hear the sound of water soaking into the ground, and I felt as though my body was being washed away.

 

Now, I can see the white sea outside the stone assembled windows.

The path I took was already nothing more than a far distant line.

 

Whirling patterns at my feet, overlapped with spiral staircases, and the stone circle had become a shining tower.
