Lamp
残像のスケッチ (Zanzo no suketchi) (Sketch of an Afterimage) (English Translation)
Smoky drizzles fill the landscape
In a bleeding twilight marking the end of spring

Finding you among flowers that pop open like an umbrella
Waiting alone at the bus stop in front of the station for the promised 6:30 appointment

Diffused reflections on rain-soaked roads
Splashing puddles dye the hem
A car runs away past my eyes
Leaving me back

Crossing railroad lines traverse the scene
As darkness breaks through the weir and overflows into the city

Fluttering and swaying lights illuminating the platform lights
Excited by someone you don't know is like you and unlike you

Combing the tips of hair wet from the rain
When I suddenly saw you
Nothing changed the night like that
Into a gentle dream

The flowers scattered without saying goodbye
Leaving a white afterimage
