Kitamura Taro 北村太郎 – Ⅳ

A Man of the Port-11- 

 

 

 

Though the wind is cold and strong

a lot of seagulls are aloft.

It’s surprising that

they resist or obey the wind and never stop flying.

Terrific energy.

 

 

A parka completely covers my head

as I watch.

only my eyes are busily moving.

 

 

A red-masted gray tug moans in melancholy

as it leaves port.

Morning began cloudily

but now rain has begun falling.

 

 

Do seagulls have very good eyes?

I’m gradually growing blind

while watching.

 

 

Enough already!

People grow decadent

when they watch behavior

which is too normal.
