Paper Planes (Poetry 2)

Paper Plane (Japanese/Furukawa Shuntaro)

Even if it is not satisfactory, if there are a few words

I was formed like a compound from a place where there is nothing You will feel at peace

Although sometimes you think that it is too late to say that you have a job

Sometimes you also think that what you say is not completely ridiculous

I don’t know who threw a paper airplane from the window on the 28th floor of the building where I was.

It was almost like a piece of paper being tossed by the wind

Falling in The parking lot of the police station across the road

Sometimes it showed dignity and flew horizontally

The dozens of seconds the paper plane floated in the air made me satisfied

I call it poetry

Born from pain but not related to pain

Derived from experience but not experience

Similar to but different from joy Joy is calm

But there is no guarantee that it will be higher than the vicious attacks when a couple quarrels

Because poetry never makes any promises

It just lets us Peering through the cracks

The phantom of an impossible reconciliation between the world and ourselves
