Heavenward from Island by Asunojokei

臨界

苛烈さを増す窓辺から目を背け
けたたましい駆動音には耳を塞ぐ
かびの台が僕を冷ましていく代わりに
室外機を通した熱が新たに

次亜塩素酸水まみれのソフビをくわえた赤子と比べたら
少しの言葉を知って次なる神へと成り代わる

町へ出なくなって久しい
肌は季節の輪郭を忘れていく
お気楽な幸せを知ってしまったが最後
つれない本物になんて戻れない

喉が渇くのは太陽のせいじゃない
冷たい風の吹くこの部屋のせいだよ
本当に？
蝉時雨が聞こえないのはAirPods Proのせいじゃない
誰にも邪魔されたくないと願った君自身のせいだよ

人生に遅すぎることはない
吐き気のするきれいごと
何もかもが頭打ちの楽園で
これ以上何を望む
いつ無くしたのかも分からない忘れ物を
探しにいくのはバカげている
それでもあと少しだけ
その言葉を信じたいというのなら
迎えに行こう



Heavenward

I looked away from the stupid world outside the window.
I covered my ears from the loud rattling noise.
When the moldy box cools me down, the heat is discharged from the outdoor unit.

Compared to a baby sucking a plastic doll covered with hypochlorite water,
we knew some words.
We become the next god.

It's been a long time since I stopped going to town.
My skin forgot the contours of the seasons.
I got to know an easygoing happiness.
It’s not easy for me to go back to the blunt reality.

It’s not the sun that makes me thirsty.
It's because of this room with the cold wind.
Is that true?
It's not AirPods Pro's fault you can't hear the hymn of cicadas.
It's your own fault for wishing no one else would bother you.

“You’re never too old to start something new.”
Stop telling me this pretty word, it makes me ill.
What more do you wish for in this sinking paradise?
It’s stupid to go find something you don’t know when you lost it.
But if you want to believe those words just a little more,
it’s time for you to go find it.
