Clematis
Tsukiko Amano
Clematis
The iron wire stretching up in a spiral
Carries your prayers and blesses
Clusters of blue flowers
Leaning close to the flowers, you let go of my hand
We can go, even if we take a winding detour
We can go, while naming everything nameless
Adding pictures to the branches we step on
I walked towards the sunny spot
We can go, even if we are seen offbeat confidently
We can go, while naming everything nameless
In the irregular morning with thunder roaring
Among the piled-up garbage, a dropped jewel
Analog, random, ecology, ideology
Connecting me, you, everything
We can go, even if we take a winding detour
We can go, laughing confidently offbeat
We can go, like the blue flowers blooming everywhere
We can go, naming everything nameless
