蛹化の女

月光の白き林で
木の根掘れば
蝉の蛹のいくつも出てきし
ああ
 
それはあなたを思い過ぎて
変り果てた私の姿
月光の凍てつく森で
樹液すする私は虫の女
 
いつのまにかあなたが
私に気づくころ
飴色のはらもつ
虫と化した娘は
不思議な草に寄生されて
飴色の背中に悲しみのくきがのびる
 
Translation

Pupa Girl

Pull the root of a tree in a white-moonlit forest
To find a cluster of locust pupa
 
I have thought too much of you and changed completely
Now, in an icy moonlit forest, I drink sap
I am an insect girl
 
I don't see you, but you catch glimpse of me
Transformed into an insect and with an amber stomach
I am eaten by a strange, parasitic grass
And from my amber back grows the stem of my sadness
