No One Wanted to Know（お題：マルク・シャガール《青いサーカス》）
It’s times like this
With one foot on the ladder and one hand on the rope
I think of the days when my eyes were locked with his
A smaller crowd, a higher hope
Was he afraid of me?
When I shivered at the sight
Of one thousand heads bobbing in fright
Did he loathe me?
When the spotlight was my shrine
And it stepped on his lap to leap to mine
With one foot on the ladder and one hand on the rope
I see the moon align with my horoscope
With one foot on the ladder and one hand on the rope
I leap, not for faith, but an irrevocable oath.

英詩を書いてみたかった時期。今見返すと、韻律とか色々整えたくなるな…。
この詩は、
３人で行った旅行で見た絵画をお題として選び、それぞれ詩を作成する
という試みでできたものです。
今回のお題は、シャガール美術館で見た、マルク・シャガール《青いサーカス》でした。
