ふと、思う 「挑戦」と書かれた 未開封の封筒の束 のようなものを 母なる海に 降り立った時には すでに 置き忘れているのかも しれない 目に見えない 無数の封筒 誰かの歩んだ 生きた軌跡 細く太く 蛇行し続く 開封と未開封 自由な選択 すべて決めてきた はずなのに 誰かが抗う術を 忘れるほど 魅力的な封筒 開けた指先紅一閃 甘い期待は砕かれた 誰もが素通りする 触れるのも厭うほど ざらついた封筒 意を決し 爪で こじ開けた先に 磨かれた 「自分」を 見つけた これだけは開ける宿命と 捨てても 預けても その手に 幾度となく 戻される 未完の印 だが、こんな日もある あとから現れた 誰かがたやすく開ける 重さを分かち合うような 祈りの手 目に見えない 無数の封筒 誰かの歩んだ 生きた軌跡 細く太く 蛇行し続く 開封と未開封 自由な選択 すべて決めてきたはずなのに！ 歩んだ先で 時を経るも経らぬも 等しく 天秤の上で踊る すべての封は開かずとも いずれ指先の 痛みは引き 釣り合っていた重力は 空へと溶けてゆく 透明な紙が 光を透かすように 宙へと帰ってゆく Zero gravity ✉️ ✉️ ✉️ 💌 📧 ✉️ TABA -Zero Gravity- (English Translation) I suddenly think, The bundle of unopened envelopes marked with the word "challenge." Perhaps I had already misplaced them the moment I descended into the Mother Sea. Countless invisible envelopes, The living traces of someone’s journey. Meandering, thin and thick, they continue. To open or leave sealed—a free choice. Even though I was supposed to have decided it all. An envelope so alluring, it makes one forget how to resist. A crimson line on the fingertip that opened it. Sweet expectations were shattered. A rough envelope that everyone passes by, hesitant even to touch. Steeling my resolve, I pried it open with my nails, and there, I found a polished "self." This one alone, I am destined to open. Even if I throw it away or leave it behind, this sign of the unfinished returns to my hands, time and time again. Yet, there are days like this— where someone who appears later opens it with ease. A prayerful hand, as if sharing the weight. Countless invisible envelopes, The living traces of someone’s journey. Meandering, thin and thick, they continue. To open or leave sealed—a free choice. Even though I was supposed to have decided it all! At the end of the journey, whether time passes or stands still, it is all the same. Dancing upon the scales, even if all the seals remain unopened. Eventually, the pain in the fingertip fades, and the gravity that held me in balance dissolves into the void. Like transparent paper letting the light through, I am returning to the sky.
