透明人間18号

晴れた空の蒼さだけじゃ もはやかばいきれはしなくて
このままではボロが出ると 黒く染まり色を仕舞いこんだ
されど黒に身を預けるほどの懐などなくて
どちらにせよ潔さが 求められることを知った
聖者も僕も同様に 照らしてくれるのが救いだよ
太陽が照らす相手選んだら きっと僕に色は与えられない
ただ一つを貫く人 幾色にも塗れる人
それぞれなけなしの 正しさを振り絞っているのに 僕は
白と黒の狭間で今日も 見事なまでの灰の色
涙一つこぼしてみても 色は教えてはくれない
賢者も 空も 凡人も それぞれの色に染まる中
太陽の光纏った君は 無色透明に輝いていた
何ににも染まらぬように 何にでも溶けるように
心と声との隙間に 裸で立ってられるように
黒発: 白着 鈍行に乗り 何万回目かの里帰り
その道すがら乗り込んできた 君に僕は見つかったんだ
すると灰の色の僕を眺め 綺麗と言ったんだ
虹の色を掻き混ぜると 同じ色をしていると
聖者の声がこの僕の 耳にも聞こえるのは救いだよ
声が 届く相手選んだら きっと君と僕は出会えぬまま
何ににも染まらぬように 色々から逃げるように
これっぽっちのこの僕に 何を選べというのかい
僕にもなれるかな
何か嫌いというには 何も知らないから
僕にもできるかな
この命の間に 全ての色を手に
できるかな
愛さないで 愛でよう
探らないで 探そう
語らないで 喋ろう
歩まないで 歩こう
愛さないで 愛でよう
飾らないで 飾ろう
変わらないで 変えよう
失くさないで 捨てよう

Invisible Man #18

The blue of the clear sky alone is no longer enough to shield me
At this rate, my flaws will show, so I dyed myself black and hid my colors away
But I don't have the capacity to surrender myself to black
Either way, I learned that decisiveness is required
It's a relief that the sun shines on both saints and me alike
If the sun chose who it shines upon, I would surely not be given any color
Those who pierce through one thing, those who can be painted in many colors
Each of them are squeezing out their meager righteousness, yet I
In the space between white and black, today I am a perfect shade of gray
Even if I shed a tear, it won't tell me my color
While sages, the sky, and ordinary people are all dyed in their respective colors
You, clothed in the sunlight, shone transparently
As if not to be dyed by anything, as if to melt into anything
As if you could stand naked in the gap between heart and voice
Black departure: white arrival, on a slow train, for the umpteenth homecoming
Along the way, you boarded the train, and I was found by you
Then, looking at me, the color of ash, you said I was beautiful
You said I was the same color as when you mix the colors of the rainbow
It's a relief that the voice of the saint can reach even my ears
If the voice chose who it reached, you and I would never have met
As if not to be dyed by anything, as if to escape from everything
What can you ask of this small me to choose?
Can I become like that too?
I don't know anything to hate
Can I do it too?
In this lifetime, to hold all the colors in my hands
Can I do it?
Instead of not loving, let me cherish
Instead of not searching, let me seek
Instead of not speaking, let me talk
Instead of not walking, let me walk
Instead of not loving, let me cherish
Instead of not decorating, let me adorn
Instead of not changing, let me transform
Instead of not losing, let me discard
