THE EARTH IS CLOSING ON US,
pushing us through the last
passage, and we tear off
our limbs to pass through.
The earth is squeezing us.
I wish we were its wheat so
we could die and live again.
I wish the earth was our mother.
So she'd be kind to us.
I wish we were pictures on the
rocks for our dreams to carry
As mirrors. We saw the faces of
those to be killed by the last of
us in the last defense of the soul.
We cried over their children's feast.
We saw the faces of those who'll
throw our children. Out of the
windows of this last space.
Our star will hang up mirrors.
Where should we go after the
last frontiers? Where should
the birds fly after the last sky?
Where should the plants sleep
after the last breath of air?
We will write our names with
scarlet steam.
We will cut off the hand of the
song to be finished by our flesh.
We will die here, here in the last
passage. HERE AND THERE OUR BLOOD
WILL PLANT ITS OLIVE TREE.

We hope whoever wish a peace of Lebanon (and Middle East) perform this poetry reading in public sphere for the future of lebanese children. |

地の果てがだんだん近づいてきて、
僕らを最後の逃げ道に追いつめてゆく。
僕らはなんとかそこを通りぬけようとして、
自分の手や足までもぎとったというのに、
それでも地面は僕らをぺしゃんこにしようとする。
いっそのこと僕らが麦だったらよかったのに。
そしたら死んでも、また生きかえることができるから。
でなければ、地面がぼくらの母さんだったらよかったのに。
そしたら優しくしてくれるから。
でなければ、ぼくらが石の壁に描かれた絵だったらよかったのに。
そしたら鏡に映して夢のなかに運んでゆけるのに。
僕らは泣いた。子どもの祭りに日のことを思い出して。
僕らは見た。最後に逃げこんだ場所で、
子どもたちを窓の外へ放り出した者たちの顔を。
僕らの星はその顔に鏡をつきつけるだろう。
地の果てにたどりついたら、
そのあと僕らはどこへ行けばよいのだろう？
空の果てにとどりついたら、
そのあと鳥たちはどこを飛べばよいのだろう？
草や木が最後の息を吐ききったら、
そのあとどこで眠ればよいのだろう？
僕らは流した血のしずくで、
僕らの名前を記すだろう。
そして遂に僕らは、
最後の羽根をもぎとり、
僕らの肉がうたう
最後の歌をききながら、
やがて死んでゆくだろう。
最後に残された、
せまいこの道の上で、
そう、ここで、この場所で。
でも、いつか、
僕らが流したこの血のうえに、
ここからもあそこからも、
オリーブの樹がなるだろう。（また、こどもがうまれたよ）
