Toshiko Hirata 平田俊子 (Japan 日本)
Hirata Toshiko is a poet and novelist. During the 1980s, she, along with Hiromi Itō, emerged as one of the foremost voices so-called “women’s boom” of poetry. Her poetry is known for its directness and black humor. Tāminaru (Terminal), the 1997 anthology from which most of the poems translated here came, won the Doi Bansui Prize for poetry. She has also won the Hagiwara Sakutarō Prize for poetry for her 2004 collection Shi nanoka (Poetry on the Seventh Day/Is This Poetry?). In recent years, she has increasingly turned to writing novels, which often feature ordinary people in bizarre circumstances that lead them to question the traditional family system and the spots allotted to them in society. Among her many novels are Piano sando (Piano Sandwich, 2001), Futari nori (Two on Board, 2004), which won the Noma Literary Prize for New Writers, and Watashi no akakute yawarakana bubun (My Soft, Red Place, 2007).

別搖晃啦

 

搖晃了吧

今天也搖晃了吧

以前不知道

地球是暴亂的搖籃

大人和孩子都無法安睡

是故意使壞的搖籃

 

是三月啊 是春天啊

卻不知是春眠之際

本來應該是溫柔的季節

但今年的春天

搖晃著

讓人無法安睡

 

地球啊 你啊

無論其麼時候

開心就好了

搖晃的事

就交給風吹過的花兒

院子裹晾的衣服吧

你只要

天真地旋轉

 

搖晃地球的東西

化成泡沫消失吧

別搖啦

別搖

別

別

別！

 

Do Not Tremble

 

It trembles

It is trembling again today

I did not know that the earth

Is an unruly cradle

A cruel cradle that lets

Neither adult nor child sleep

 

It is March, it is spring

It should be a gentle season of vernal sleep

When one sleeps so deeply there is no dawn

But spring this year

Shakes us to keep us

From falling asleep

 

Earth, it is enough

For you simply to

Keep spinning happily

Leave the trembling

To windblown flowers and

Laundry hanging in the year

You should simply spin

Innocently

 

Those forces that shake the earth

May you turn to bubbles and disappear

Do not tremble

Do not trem

Do not tre

Do not

Not

No!
