ShoreYuki Shimizu
In the soil of the garden lived shining green bugsThose intertidal sea creatures have no eyes, no mouth,just a transparent sack-like body filled with algaeUpon eating as much algae as they need right after birthThe creatures close their mouth and then let it degenerateThereafter they live on nutrients produced by the algae through photosynthesis When the tides fall, they rise to the surface and soak up the sunWhen the tides rise, they submerge to keep from washing awayIn the garden, while separated from the sea, they do the sameDiving into the sand when comes time of the tideAsked how they know the right timeyou replied,"it must be the algae that remember" [...]
-------
In winter the algae brown, and the green bugs perish If they are properly connected to the seaThey'll be born again with springYou ate the green bugs as you cleaned the garden the reason you will come back here in the springI found the whole place filled with foam of the waves You are standing on the wavesIf I speak to you nowI'll never leave the shore
