scented...
in the forest
sigh of
oaks, beeches,
larks and you
moonless night...
on the steps of ruin
or into
a kitten's milk,
falling ashes
how like
babel, sullen
thunder...
a blank cartridge
shooting wisps of clouds
down, down
screw the staircase
to the abyss
tell me again how
we became civilized
we talked
about our dream...
each other
under the Betelgeuse,
are you gone already?
Tr. by Mariko Kitakubo and Robert D. Wilson
