かどをまがると。

背負うものの声。

どこかで音がしている。

だれかの足音、風の鳴る音、樹々がこすれあう音、鳥の声、葉っぱの上を歩く音。

アトリエの静かに響く声、深夜の湿った車輪の音。

それは見えていない。それは見えかくれする。

見えていないので、音を聴く。声を聞く。

妄想によって、空想によって、かたちによって、語りあう。

そうしてようやく次となる。

When I Turn the Corner

What voices carry, I must shoulder.

There is a sound somewhere.

Someone’s footsteps, the sound of wind,

trees rubbing against each other,

a bird’s voice, footsteps on leaves.

The quiet voice of the atelier.

Wet wheels turning in the middle of the night.

All invisible—appearing and disappearing.

I cannot see, so I listen to the sounds.

I listen to the voices.

They speak to each other through delusion,

through fantasy, through form.

And then, finally, they become something else.
