(and A recluse repentant)
（続き）
An uncertain mirror image of a glass surface that is repeatedly photographed.
Shadows approach the entity and then move away again.
The palm appears to glow white. ...
My favourite this time is the blurred face floating on the bamboo fence.
The mirror image, made into a large image, is trying to get closer to the entity, but is unable to cross the boundary at the end and returns to the world of shadows.
I was caught up in such delusions for a while.
I am in a world of shadows and long for the light.
But it is a place to which I have no connection.
I have lived my whole life thinking that light is something to be admired from afar. There are only a limited number of days left of my life. From time to time, as if by some evil spell, I think of another me who is not like that, and I sigh.
I, too, will disappear into emptiness, mingling with the streams of many people who have spent their lives in vain.
Will the memory of the beautiful light remain until the end of my life?
繰り返し撮り続けているガラス表面の不確かな鏡像。
影は実体に近づき、また離れていく。
掌が白く輝いて見える。…
今回のお気に入りは、竹垣に浮かぶ朧の顔。
大写しにした鏡像は、実体に近づこうとしているのに、その境界を終に越えることができないまま、元の影の世界へ帰っていく。
そんな妄想に一頻り囚われていた。私は、影の世界に居て、光に憧れる。
しかし自分には所詮縁の無い場所。
光は遠くから眺めるものだという思いのままこれまで生きてきた。その生も残り僅かだ。時折、魔が差したように、そんな人間ではない別の私を想い描いては、溜息をつく。無為の生を過ごした数多の人の流れに交じって、虚無へ消えていく。
美しい光の記憶はその最後まで残るのだろうか。
