Powerful anticyclone.

I don't know where these bandits are going, but they are on the way.

noise in cold air
echoing over the pond;

Two Suns

a white fire, wavering with sunspots
the mirror, silver
a gentle ringing in the ears
a colorless sun

waves draw near
play with the sand, return—night
a sun that laughs, saying
it cannot take you along

太陽を二つ

黒点とゆれるしろい火
鏡は銀
やさしい耳鳴り
いろのない太陽

寄せる波
砂と戯れ帰る夜
連れて行けぬとわらう太陽

Silver shoes

hey, Oscar,
silver sequin shoes—
let your heels ring

rain becomes stars
the holy tree blinks
O shepherd,

clouds in rafts above, upon one another, pushed up along
the margin of sky

Oh, these torches before me that seem to burn brighter
as the light fades

against the maddening subtle surface of the sky

I can see the light spilling

like a shower of meteors
into next week's trees,
and I plan to be there soon—
and, so far, I am

just that lucky,
my legs splashing
over the edge of darkness,
my heart on fire.

What is so utterly invisible
as tomorrow?
Not love,
not the wind,

not the inside of a stone.
Not anything.
And yet, how often I'm fooled—
I'm wading along

in the sunlight—
and I'm sure I can see the fields and the ponds shining
days ahead—
