彼女　— 虚無
she who is the void
Before the first word, she was there —
言葉の前に、彼女はいた
not darkness, not silence,
闇でもなく、静寂でもなく
but the open mouth of everything
すべての開いた口
that never speaks.
決して語らぬもの
She has no edges. She swallows
彼女に縁はない。彼女は呑む
the stars the way water swallows
星を、水が呑むように
a reflection — without effort,
影を — 力もなく
without desire.
欲望もなく
I have called her name into the dark.
私は闇の中に彼女の名を呼んだ
