【酔狂文庫】 夢の話し。
ピンクの猫が笑っている
青いポストの上で
八分音符のフォルムを空に掲げ
ピンクの猫が笑っている
ふと気付くと右手がなくなっていた
これは困った
右手がなくては左手が寂しがってしまう
どこに落としてきたのだろう?
昨日丸まった時だろうか?
それともバラバラになった時だろうか?
右手はどこだとくるぶしに聞いてみたが
彼はうんともすんとも言いはしない
もっとも起きるより先に眠ってしまったから
饒舌なまでに無口なのは仕方がない
だから私は旅に出よう
カバンにたくさん夢を詰め
右手を探す旅に出よう
青いポストの上で、
八分音符のフォルムを空に掲げ、
ピンクの猫が笑っているシールがついたキャリーバックに、
右手以外の”のこり”を詰めて、
彼の…元彼の右手を探す旅に出る。
…ああでもほんとどこで落としたんだろうか?
寝室で殺ったときかな?
それともお風呂場でバラバラにしたときか?
…ともあれ彼のアパートにもう一度行って、
詰め忘れた右手を探さないと。
あんなもの他に誰かに見つけられたら捕まっちゃうよ。
うっかりしてないでがんばらないと。
完全犯罪の夢はもうすぐそこなんだから。
Suikyou Bunko: "On a Dream"
A pink cat laughs.
On top of a blue postbox,
a pink cat laughs,
and sends eighth notes lilting up to the sky.
All of a sudden I notice the right hand is missing.
This is a problem.
With the right hand gone, the left hand will get lonely.
Where on earth did I lose it?
Was it yesterday when they were bunched together?
Or, was it when they were apart?
Where is that right hand? - I ask the ankle,
but he doesn't say a thing.
Of course, he was already asleep anyway before this happened
so his deafening silence is to be expected.
So, I'm going on a journey.
I'll fill my bag full with my dream,
and go on a journey to find the right hand.
In my wheeled suitcase,
with the sticker of the pink cat laughing on top of the blue postbox and sending eighth notes up to the sky,
I pack the other "remains",
and start my journey to find his...my former boyfriend's right hand.
...Oh, but just where did I lose it?
Maybe when I killed him in the bedroom?
Or maybe when I cut him up in the bathroom?
...At any rate I had better go back to his apartment,
and find the right hand I forgot to pack.
Something like that, if someone were to find it, I'd be caught for sure.
I need to try harder, I can't be so careless.
Because I'm so close to the dream of the perfect crime.
