The Earth...20290914

＜私が自然を詠う理由を詠いました＞

―Why I have composed Tanka on Nature>―

 １

時はもや灼熱にしてゆるされず森の木蔦にやすらふことも

:

Time

is already scorched

and unforgiving—

I cannot find rest

on the forest's ivy

:

2

噴き上げむ地中深くにとぐろ巻く灼熱の星 間に合ふか 人

:

A blazing planet

with troubles coiling deep

into the earth—

Will mankind be able to solve

before time runs out?

:

:

creation inherits

inevitable destruction

restless otherwise
