バステト
アスファルトの砂漠に生きる
テトや
二階の窓の磨りガラスに
汝の影
南へ行かんと十字路おれれば
そこに
欠伸まじりの鳴き声と
踊る尻尾
来る人去る人お構いなしに
鯔背な愛嬌ふりまいたり
逃げ去りしもまた追う瞳
しかし何より頼もしいのは
牡丹のごとし
八千年の神の威厳ぞ
Bastet
In the asphalt desert you live, O Teto,
Your shadow on the frosted glass
Of the second-floor window,
Glimpsed as you pass.
Turning south at the crossroads,
There appears a yawn-filled meow
And your dancing tail,
A fleeting, graceful sign.
Unbothered by comings and goings,
You scatter charming antics,
Yet the eyes that fled still follow.
But what is most reassuring
Is, like a peony,
The majesty of a god.
