はが

かばんの中
紛れ込んだ落ち葉を
捨てられずにいる
もう何週間も
秋が
自然に還りそこねて
冬になっても
間違った場所にいるまま
逃がせないのは
我の
わがまま

A Wee Leaf

A wee stray leaf fell into my bag 
Weeks ago
l can't seem to throw it away
For all these weeks
The autumn lost its chance 
To return to earth
Remaining in the wrong place still
While it's winter already
If I can't let it go 
It's my 
      selfish self
