階段をおりる人

地下のカフェへの階段を
ゆるりゆるりとおりてゆく

ドリッパーにおりたお湯は
黒い土にしみわたってく

街の喧騒はいつのまにか
あいさつもなくいなくなって

お湯はお湯で土の中で
新たな連れを探し歩いて

つかのまのいとまがいつのまにか
いくつかのことばに溶け出しますよう

ふくらむ黒いしじまの中へと
ゆるりゆるりとおりてゆく

Go down the stairs to the basement
Where there is a cafe
Slowly, silently

The hot water landed on the dripper
Soaks throuth the soil of coffee

The bustle of the city
has disappeared imperceptibly

The hot water, on the other hand,
Looks for new companions
In the soil that is swelling

Let some words dissolve in the time
Like the ingredients live in the rhyme

Go down the staires
to the sweet still that is swelling
slowly, silently
