『没になった詩たち』

The Box

There was only a bluebird
Left in the blue box
......STARS IN HEAVEN ABOVE

One day, a fish came out of the water
Writhed in agony until it heard
Male and female flowers calling each other
--- Je te veux ---
The language was scent


......FLOWERS UPON EARTH
There came flying a little creature
"I eat
"I am eaten
"I am a star child
--- 111111101010111111001001110 ---"
The body was the light


......BIRDS IN THE SKY
One day, Human built a fire
Fire healed, fire burned
Human wrote the name of the sender, in the night sky
--- l'oiseau bleu dans une cage ---
The greeting was an array


Human noticed the box
That had been there since the beginning
Human soared into the sky
Exceeded the light, beyond stars
Filled Time
--- Saluton! ---
Human opened the box

Things in it spouted out
Scrambled to escape, from Human's body
Human exploded in the space suit
Innocence, Ignorance, Contradiction and Fantasy
Spreaded in the darkness
With flakes of sublimed water
Courage, Horror, Idleness and Obsession
Greed, Love, Nostalgia and Mischief...

And then, Human tried to crawled up
The gravitational gradient


One day, Human left behind the homeland
Only a handful out of ten billion survived
But Human had to go out
Is Human distillate from Heaven?
Or turbidity in Heaven?
Back to Heaven again?
--- Anybody out there? ---

......STARS FOR HEAVEN
Left in the blue box was
Just one thing that had been there
Since the beginning of things
It was a Bluebird
