The Shape of Flowers

Akino Arai


Sleepless,
The cold 
Inside of my chest is a space where there is nothing
If you could gather light it would have the shape of flowers
Little stars one by one
Like people in their sleep will gather
Silently
On the other side
of an old telescope
Who smiles?
If you could gather light you could see even the future
Little stars one by one
Like a resounding voice
Towards that place I knew when empty
Flow all the memories
Brilliantly
With the radiation 
My heart is illuminated
The everyone´s dreams shall become a different light
The warm song of the silent stars can be heard
If you gather light it would have the shape of flowers
Little stars one by one
Like people in their sleep will gather
Yes, silently, let´s sleep
