Foggy Days

Poem from the book "" by Machida Kou 町田康

49 days in fashion.
Laugh yourself silly while dinner goes bad.
49 days in living hell.
Talk about love while dinner goes bad.
The voice on the answering machine tape
Echoes in the fog.
Foggy days

霧の日々

おしゃれをして四十九日間
笑い呆けて飯が腐る
生き地獄で四十九日間
愛を語って飯が腐る
溜守番電話のテープの声が
霧の中に響きわたる
フォギー・デイズ
