自然に生きることを忘れ

神に逆らい

権力に溺れる男たち

たたかうことが人生ではなかったのか

 

人生にはいろいろな瞬間がある

初めて人を好きになった時

大人に憧れを抱いた時

不正義ねへの怒りを抱いた時

 

必死に働き　本当の恋を知り

子どもが生まれ

その子の成長と共に

自分の人生を知り

 

娘の美しさ

息子の寝息

人生の真っ只中で

 

そのことをどうやって記録に留めよう

写真だけではない人の生きかたを

詩を書かずに　どうやって留めよう

 

 

 

With Poetry

 

Forgetting to live naturally

Men who defy God

Men addicted to power

Wasn’t life to fight

 

There are many moments in life

When you first fell in love with someone

When you longed to be an adult

When you felt anger at injustice

 

When I worked hard and found true love

The birth of a child.

And as that child grows up

I learned about my own life.

 

The beauty of my daughter.

The sleeping breath of my son.

In the midst of life

 

How can I document that

How can I capture a person’s life

How can I capture it without writing poetry?
