Kenjiro Okazaki, In places the sky glowed dark—indigo, gold, green, gray—seeming to sink inward deeply. A pale blue peacock spread jeweled tail feathers across the entire sky, crying softly. The peacock was certainly there. Yet completely invisible. It certainly cried. Yet it was completely inaudible. It was the sun. Solemn- ly shaking its strange round molten body, it rose properly into heaven’s sky. The children stood perfec- tly straight, their palms pressed together toward it. Light poured down in needles and sheaves, clicking and ringing sharply across the entire plain.

Chosen singer from the muddled world, crawling naked as the newborn infant, limbs flailing—does no one see? Words not words continue endlessly. Time thinned the darkness, sheer as ice film. Shapes emerge faintly. From somewhere pale glow enters. Suddenly out of clear silence bells sound. What now? I am —, 2026

Lily gives scent. I walk this road because it drew me. The rose blooms. A branch bears no fruit unless it remains. The road is the vine; we are its branches. I have not seen rose-fruit, yet its thorn drew blood. The word was spoken. Then the bell struck eight., 2026

Kenjiro Okazaki

He woke, took the asphodel against his skin, rose and ran on; the twilight dew, holding the evening star, fell like the tears of the one he loved. Be the dawn mingled with the dusk; every moment is a cradle and a coffin. They come through the cold and the rain to kiss your brow and wipe your eyes. You call her Aziko, but she has every other name; all things are fleeting, and under the blazing sky Aziko broke into a run down the slope., 2026
