カタストロフィー

眠りの数だけ目覚めがあるなら
昨日の数だけ明日がある
昼の数だけ夜があるなら
日向の数だけ暗闇がある
名前の数だけ物質があるなら
星の数だけ宇宙がある
言葉の数だけ思想があるなら
嘘の数だけ真実がある
別れの数だけ出逢いがあるなら
悲しみの数だけ喜びがある
成功の数だけ失敗があるなら
挑戦の数だけ挫折がある
終わりの数だけ始まりがあるなら
現実の数だけ夢がある
鍵の数だけ扉があるなら
男の数だけ女がいる
命の数だけ歴史があるなら　　　
人間の数だけ物語がある死者の数だけ生者がいるなら
忘却の数だけ存在がある
薬の数だけ傷口があるなら
医者の数だけ病気がある
味方の数だけ敵がいるなら
武器の数だけ紛争がある
政治家の数だけ国家があるなら
詩人の数だけ世界がある......そんな自由なシンメトリーの世界
壊れたのは、わたしが愛してしまったから

Catastrophe
If you awake as often as you go to sleep
there will be as many tomorrows as yesterdays
If there are as many nights as days
there will be darkness as much as light
If there are as many names as substances
there will be as many universes as stars
If there are as many thoughts as words
there will be as many truths as lies
If there are as many encounters as separations
there will be as much joy as sadness
If there is as much failure as success
there will be irresolution as much as persistence
If there are as many beginnings as ends
there will be as many dreams as realities
If there are as many doors as keys
there will be as many women as men
If there are as many histories as lives
there will be as many stories as people
If there is as much life as death
there will be as much forgetfulness as existence
If there are as many cures as injuries
there will be as many diseases as doctors
If there are as many conflicts as weapons
there will be as many opponents as allies
If there are as many nations as statesmen
there will be as many worlds as poets
Such an unbridled symmetrical world

collapsed because I loved it.
