#Unreachable to You

I looked back
but there was no path for me

A tennis ball
bouncing with a rhythmic thud
skipped from left to right

Two birds, or what seemed to be two, flew away into the sky

I try looking forward

I could see the coastal industrial complex in the distance, and
in the daylight brightness, the red lights
were blinking, reflecting dimly

I looked at my own palm, aimlessly

It looked as if it didn't know what to do with itself

Whether I am outside or at home,
it cannot be helped if my heart cannot reach you

I thought I wanted to create something

An elderly man
passed me on a bicycle from behind

Swaying slightly

Slowly,
slowly

Oh wind, won't you take it away?
The inside of my head,
the inside of my heart

I held a portable fan to my cheek
and let the breeze hit the sweat running down

As long as I am alive,
I imagine a path

If I think of it as a single road to you,
my way of living is easy to understand

I put down my luggage and
wrote a poem that cannot reach you in my notebook

Words might not be things that reach,
but only the true wavelengths

Only something like an impressive wave
vibrates the sky

Whether noticed
or unnoticed,
like a faint breeze,
hitting the window,
leaving an invisible stain

The more I continue to speak
I wonder
the further I drift from you
or perhaps

Will you forgive me
for being by your side?

Even if it doesn't reach you
that is not particularly important
the experience of having been in the same place

might record an unprecedented way of life
in this world

With you, whom I do not know
and me, who does not notice

When I open the window
a speck of wind enters the room, and at the same time
I can see the ocean spreading out

I hope the visuals
prevent the disappointment of the heart

I want to come again
Even if I return to a stuttering daily life
the world is playing

Because a swing for two is enough

The thought of wanting to see you
during meditation

Sorry

fine.

☆彡Afterword

Hello.
Thank you for your continued support. This is Tsuru.

This note
is an entry
for Akira Yamane's project.

It seems the task is to create something
with the theme "Unreachable to You".

I tried writing a poem.
I apologize for its clumsiness,
but I hope you enjoy it.
