A Voice – a poem

I cannot hear your voice
who is sleeping at the bottom of the water
as calmly as the breaths of jasmine

I’m like a small fish in a herd
who indulges in your hair

Can you hear my voice?
you are sleeping in a forest of solitude
who fulfils your lungs with marginal smoke

I cannot hear your voice
I’m a bird who forget how to migrate

If you open those your eyes
I would rather become silver sands, instead,
if I have your pomegranate kiss

 

君の声がきこえない
水底ですこやかに眠る君
ジャスミンの香りのように

ぼくは群れる小魚のように
君の髪にたわむれる

ぼくの声が聞こえるかい
孤独の森で眠る君
寂しい烟で肺を満たし

君の声が聞こえない
ぼくは渡りを忘れた渡り鳥

君がその目を開くなら
ぼくは銀の砂になってもいい
柘榴の口づけとひきかえに
