アレクスへ: (To Alex)

I.

和歌

守れない約束
致しました
存じあげて
もちろんおりました。
お女王様
もご存知で
いらっしゃいましたね。
でも拝見
すれば光る
おなりになることが
欲しいですが。
寂しい時、
よくお女王様を
抱きたいです。
思い舟の
下に海に
おなり致したいです。

お落としになりた不注意な賞賛だけが
僕の喜びでした。
お女王様も自己も
お無くし致しますから、
恐ろしいですよ。
どこにお隠れ致しましょうか、
この遊び無しで?
この服従を速くお習い致す
原因が何ですかね?
それで
ここに約束致した和歌があります。
この胸で、
遅く過ぎてすみませんね。

Waka

I made promises I can't keep
I knew it, of course
My Lady also knew it, didn't you?
When I see you, I want to become a shining light, but...
In sad times, I often want to embrace My Lady
I want to become the ocean beneath her heavy boat

Only the careless praise you dropped was my joy
Because I am losing both My Lady and myself,
I am frightened
Where shall I hide without this play?
What is the reason for quickly learning obedience?
So here are the poems I promised
From this heart,
I'm sorry that they're too late



II.

川柳
雑草に
赤い桜は
隠せない

Senryū
In among the weeds
the scarlet cherry blossoms
cannot be hidden



III.

片歌
島だけに
安全がある
でも助けない

Katauta
Only an island
can be a safe place for you,
but no one can save you there



IV.

長歌
詩の時化に
神秘は叱る
芯は霜
士気はしなびる
市に詩人
渋々忍ぶ
心中を
次第に躾ける
自然を凌ぐ

Chōka
A mystery scolds
in a poem's stormy seas
The heart is like frost
and morale withers away
The city poet
still reluctantly endures
The innermost thoughts:
slowly teach them to behave
Go forth and surpass nature



V.

旋頭歌
天才は
天災で死ぬ
もう自信
地震に終わる
きっと誇りは
埃になった

Sedōka
My genius dies
in natural disaster
My self-confidence
is ended by an earthquake
Surely, all my dignity
has become nothing but dust



VI.

短歌
夜は無常
復習の句に
月光しよう
秋分の柿
好天に松


Tanka
Night will surely end
Let's make the moonlight into
a practice haiku
The persimmons of autumn
A pine tree in good weather

(or)

The world is heartless
In revenge's agony,
let's become angry
A summer full of scandal
I see rough weather ahead



VII.

仏足石歌
同系の
姉妹の閥だ
あなたのだ
と思うずっと
幸福に沿う
専制は悪


Bussokusekika
It's an alliance
It's a circle of sisters
Consider it yours
Think of it so forever
Following in happiness
For tyranny is evil

(or)

This my idolized
punishment has ended now
Consider it yours
In surrender
accompanying you there
The beginning of my oath
