春の月にも花にも
我家の小庭のクサボケが咲き、椿が咲いた。紫陽花や茶の木の若葉が日に日に大きくなり、アガパンサスの若葉も15cmほどになっている。きょうはやや寒いが、春なのだ。 昨日の夕方に雨が降り始めたので、2日間の連休は雨になってしまうかと思った。深夜、目覚ると枕上の窓がいやに明るい。水道局から深夜の点検作業をすると連絡があったのは数日前。その作業もすでに2日前には終わったはず。あらたな工事が始まったのあろうかと、煌煌と明るい窓を覗いてみた。雨は止んでいた。そして、なんと、中天にまんまるな月だ。雨で空気が洗われ、澄み切った夜空に一段と明るく月が輝いていた。私はなんだか嬉しくなって、再び眠りに就いた。 春の月に嬉しさを感じたり、庭の花々に喜びを味わうことも、ウクライナの人々にはあるまいと思いながら、今朝、早々に、ウクライナ連帯の16作めのミニ・ポスターを創った。 人間は他者に対してどこまでも残虐な非道に堕ちることができる動物なのだと、つくづく思いながら。戦争に名を借りて殺人と破壊をしつづけ、さて、おのれの死に際に何を思うのだろう。取り返しのきかぬ所行の返り血を浴びた死に装束をまとい、腐敗した脳を容れた頭蓋の上に大量殺人者の冠を戴き、宇宙の塵になる己を。 The Cfhaenomeles japonica in my small garden bloomed, and the camellia bloomed. The young leavesof hydrangea and tea trees are getting bigger day byday, and the young leaves of agapanthus are about 15cm. It's a little cold today, but it's spring. It started to rain yesterday evening, so I thought it would rain during the two consecutive holidays. WhenI wae up at midnight, the window on the side of thebed head is very bright. It was a few days ago that theWaterworks Bureau contacted me to do a late-nightinspection. That work should have already been com-pleted two days ago. I wondered if new constructionhad begun, and looked into the glittering and brightwindows. The rain had stopped. And what a roundmoon in the middle of the sky. The air was washedby the rain, and the moon was shining brighter inthe clear night sky. I was kind of happy and wentto sleep again. I made the 16th mini-poster of Ukraine solidarityearly this morning, thinking that the people ofUkraine would not feel happy in the spring moonor enjoy the flowers in their gardens. While thinking that human beings are animalsthat can fall into a cruel outrage against others. Hecontinued to murder and destroy in the name ofthe war, and what do he think about his death? Thereturn of irreparable deeds, dressed in blood-soakeddeath, and the crown of a mass murdere on a skullcontaining rotting brain, and becoming to the dustof the universe.Tadami Yamada 山田維史『ウクライナ万歳!』Tadami Yamada
