君は
その名前ほどには
明るくない。
白熱電球ではなく
蛍光灯でもなく
ましてや
LEDではありえない。
優雅だったり
コミカルだったり
おどろおどろしかったり
悲痛だったりして
不安定で 危険で
落ち着かなくて 心配で
ほんのちょっとした吐息に
ゆれて消えそうな
ロウソクの炎が
ふさわしい。
同名の短い器楽曲に合わせ、自作自演。
Akari
You are
Not as bright as your name.
You are
Not incandescent bulbs,
Not a fluorescent light.
Moreover
You cannot be an LED.
You are graceful, comical,
Awkward, sad, unstable,
Dangerous and uncomfortable.
You are
A candle flame
That seems to sway and disappear
With a slight sigh is appropriate.
