The River of Lead
Well it's because of the city river; Fishes staled at a damper Dull dull river Stands still or runs down.
The river of lead, the river of lead; Crowds of people Showy decollated thin clothes Men & women, young & old Buildings, streets & cars Shit & piss, carcasses of smelled rats
It's because of the city river; Red lights,blue lights Advertising illuminations reflect Dull in the river of no revolutions.
The Red Moon
When the night extend wafery sky I cut the skin of sky by a razor The red crescent moon comes out. As looking up, a huge badly hand Blooms above the city like a flower. Standing a collar of my overcoat, Drawing in my neck like a cat, I jump activery up a trash can In back alley, and wait a wizard.
Ah Me! Try Now
On the rust colored horizon of the segregation There are concrete small world of you and I Wishing you let me hear your respiration, I'm in a gravelike room with bated breath
I desired you in most earnestly It admitted of no question The gray walls cut off me from you coldly
It will be soon that I see Rotten blue mosses to grew, Urine stinky mosses to grew, On the old walls which fixed about me
Also it is certain that my mind Will be full of the dead mottles. As I 'll corruot in without taking your sound
Ah me! try now to thrust out with my fist! If I would touch you I should do it. Ah me! don't stick to myself, now for it! I know the walls are of cowardly my heart
Dialogue
When I came to myself, the lid Of the cell was shut behind me I was an obedient invalid A physician coming in without a knock At the door, asked me to be restored from sick Shaking my head I replied to him "No, I don't" Then he gone out with a smile Following him with my eyes vacantly I noticed a knife under my foot, Felt uneasy, and when looked upward The ceilling suddenly dropped down, and Stopped short of six inches over my head The cell was locked up by the outside "Do you get well to health?" I kept in silence・・・・・
Parting
I plodded, for ever and ever, On boundless grassy plain. The nights have come a number of times But why not, the morning never comes Grassy plain as far as I can see・・・as ever
A Boy and An Orange
A boy throwing up an orange Like a rubber ball up Into the winter chilly sky Ran across the town's intersection Seeing him I wondered at the scene Having inside the spring of the boy's life The spring seemed to moisten Tenderly my lips In the sik light of cold winter
Stray in the Spring
Plod earnestly along a narrow path Sorrowful; wiping tears but they burst forth
As just evening, things are lost in the gray shadow Then in a broad expanse of mustard flowers by meadow Gold suddenly fly asunder around
Getting a scatterdgold in my hand Throwing it, Throwing it into the sky, I walk
Although the impression of a moment was most Yet it now vanished like a ghost It may be as well as the spring of my youth Plod earnestly along a narrow path Sorrowful heart; wiping tears but they burst forth
Spring's Pain
Sprawl out on the fragrant field Delight my eyes upon golden horizon A sigh flickers In the deep sky a white sloop glides on
Phantoms of love lost children Skip rope among brilliant wods In the picnic baskets Mud's smells sre stuffed up Instead of biscuits
I feel inclined to weep Carve the word love on the ground Carve the word hate on the ground By the knife which I always hold it tight in my hand The spring is now sweet feeling in pain as well as I am
The rain Drops
The rain drops fall simplicity shining endlessly twinkling newly onto the holy holly
