死者はきっと到着できますか（天の光は出口の合図）？肉体もなく翼も必要ない魂だって、こんなに上まで飛びつづけられないわ。かつて川の畔に一本の高い高い木があり（それを猿のように攀じ、鳥のように枝うつりし）未来の故郷へ行けると教わりました（勉学の手引き！）。木は朽ち、膝を草叢につくと「これはスミレ」。わたしはその名を知っています。

Will the dead be able to arrive (is the lift of the heavens the sign of an exit)? A soul with no flesh, and no need for wings, can’t go on flying this high forever. Once there was a single tall, tall, tree on the causeway of the river (and if you climbed it like a monkey, hopped its branches like a bird), I was told that you could go to the birthplace of the future (study guidelines!) The tree rots, and bends its knees down to the grass, saying, “This is a violet.” I do know that name.
