白い壁の耳

I was here

"I was here, and nowhere at all."

「ここにいるのに、どこにもいない気がした」

風の音だけが、わたしの輪郭をなぞっていた

風がわたしを通りすぎたあと、何も残らなかった

名を持たないまま、誰かの声に似た沈黙を抱えていた

風がわたしを通りすぎたあと、何か残るのかもしれなかった

残らなかったものだけが、わたしだった

I was here, and nowhere at all. The sound of wind traced the outline of me. After the wind passed through me, nothing remained. Carrying a silence that resembled someone’s voice, without ever having a name. After the wind passed through me, something might have remained. What didn’t remain—that was me. And through the white window, I disappeared.
