濾過(filtration)

少しずつ濾過されていく
飲み込んだものが出ていくように
少しずつ浸透していく
大きな物を咀嚼するように

この身を通した事だけが
私の中に入り込むのだ

あまりにも荒い網目で
あまりにも少ない階層で
あらゆる事象を沈殿させては
透き通る物をそこに見出す

あまりにも拙い技術で
あまりにも少ない経験で
浅はかな想いを沈殿させては
透き通る物をここに見出す

それでしかないしそれだけでさえ
絶えず注がれ続けるのだから

Little by little it's filtered through, like something swallowed is coming out, little by little it's penetrated, like chewing on something big.

Only what passes through this body enters into me.

With too rough a mesh and too few layers, I precipitate every event and find something transparent in it.

With too little skill and too little experience, I precipitate shallow thoughts and find something transparent here

That's all there is to it, and even that's all there is to it, because it's constantly being poured out
