“酒姫（Saki）”

賢しみと物言ふよりは酒飲みて酔ひ泣きするしまさりたるらし（万葉集・341）
It is better to get drunk and weep than talking in a know-it-all manner.
(“Collection Of Ten Thousand Leaves” 341)

酒姫（サキ）よ酒もて日々の憂いに土かけよ（ハーフィズ　抒情詩・八より）
O Saaqi, bring me a bucket of wine and cover my sorrow up with soil.
(from Hafiz’s Ghazal 8)

酒姫(Saki)

“september dreams”

綺麗に磨いた靴がほしいと母が泣く
姉たちを羨み
稜線の上の空
浮かんでいるのは月ではない
それは白い気球
白い果実の箱をかかえる手指に
蜜が絡まる
September dreams
My mother cries because she wants polished shoes like her sister.
It is not the moon that floats in the evening sky above the mountain ridge. 
It is a white balloon.
I carry a cardboard box filled with large white round fruits. 
The honey that oozes from the fruit makes my hands sticky.

return home
朧なあかり
夕餉を囲む
この麦どこの麦
仄白くひかり
庭に舞い降りよ
おまえは何の花

Under the dim light, sit down to the dining table with family.
Where is this wheat harvested?
Glow dimly white.
Come down to the garden.
What kind of flower are you ?

Aquamanilia
獲物待つ人は筌簗（うえやな）水の中
I am waiting for prey in the water.
My body resembles a fish trap.
