あたりまえ？
海底の神殿
聳える象牙の塔
座敷牢ごしの風景
絡まりあった糸
夢、憧れ、望み
わたしの綿あめを
両腕に抱えたわたし
それはまるで
足裏に大地を感じながら
地球を支える
アトラスの場違い
深夜の街は明るい
蛍光灯、LED、白熱電球
人工の虫が飛び、舞い散る
色彩が渦を巻く
ホモ・エレクトスの知る闇はない
当たりまえでないものに
恐懼を抱かないことが
ことさらに怖ろしい
今夜は月も見えない
"Ordinary?"
Beneath the sea, a sunken shrine,
an ivory tower reared on high,
a view beyond the lattice cell,
threads tangled into one—
dreams, longing, wishes.
And I,
with cotton candy in my arms,
held close against my chest.
It feels as though
my bare soles press upon the earth
while I uphold the world—
Atlas, hopelessly out of place.
Past midnight, the city burns bright:
fluorescent lamps, LEDs, incandescent light.
Artificial insects wheel and drift,
colors spiral into fevered air.
No darkness remains
that Homo erectus knew.
That we no longer tremble
before the unnatural—
that is the deeper terror.
Tonight,
even the moon is gone.
