さみしいなお別れ会の寒い朝

samishi na owakarekai no samui asa

 

Cold in the morning

A farewell party today

My friend leaves

 

ルミナリエ夜の電車は疲れるね

ruminarie yoru no densha wa tsukareru ne

 

After Luminariare

In a night train now

Very tired

湯けむりに響くわが娘の冬の歌

yukemuri ni hibiku waga ko no huyu no uta

 

In a steamy bath

My daughter's song of winter

echoes ---

 

あやとりの姉妹を映す夜汽車の窓

ayatori no shimai wo utsusu yogisha no mado

 

Sisters reflected

in a window of a night train

play with a woolen thread

  

毛糸編む姉のまねする幼き手

keito amu ane no mane suru osanaki te

 


A little girl's hands

imitate

the way her sister knits

 

Tokiko


迷いつつ洗濯干す手に朝しぐれ

mayoi tsutsu sentaku hosu te ni asa shigure

 

On my hesitating hands

with a piece of washing ---

a morning drizzle
