Seashore

Noel Gallagher / Dead In The Water (Live at RTÉ 2FM Studios, Dublin)

素足で歩くのは硝子の上
滲む傷跡は鮮やかに色褪せて
刻まれていく匂いが
鼻の奥を通りすぎる

漂う頁に
虚ろな言葉を詰め込んでも
届かなくて
シーグラスが海岸に届いた後も
嘘が息を引き取ることは無く
いつまでも漂い続ける

少しづつ手元に引き寄せて
欲しくないはずの色を抜いていく
刺繍を解く作業は
悠久に
偶に針が柔らかな皮膚に潜り込んで
また赤色を拡げていく

深海で古代魚と共に漂う時間は
穏やかで
永遠の眠りすら予感させる
けれど
砂の底はまだ私達を呼ぶから
君と遊ぶのはまたいつか
全てが落ち着いたら
また
迎えにこよう
その日まで
この深海に陽が差し込むその日まで
この手紙は取っておいてほしい

その眠りがたおやかであらんことを。

Walking barefoot on glass
The blotting scars fade brightly
The smell that is carved into the air
passing through the back of my nose

on the drifting pages
I try to stuff empty words into the drifting pages
I can't reach them
until the sea glass reaches the shore
the lie will never catch its last breath
and it will drift on forever

so I pull it a little closer to me
I pull out the colors that I didn't need
The work of unraveling the embroidery
forever
Sometimes the needle dips into the soft skin
and the red color spreads out again

time drifting with ancient fish in the deep sea
calm and serene
It even foretells of eternal sleep
but
Because the bottom of the sand still calls us
I'll play with you again someday
When everything is settled
I'll come for you again
I'll come for you
Till that day
Until the day the sun shines in the depths of the sea
I hope you will keep this letter.

May your sleep be peaceful.
