A dying dahlia, uncertain of variety.

silent delight. the water boils. irredeemable hunger. how do i turn off the heat from the floors of my house, from the bones of desire. i want nothing more than i want to cease existing. i want the openness of no expectations. the opportunity to carefully open up all the layers of myself without shrinking back from being watched. i want to unfurl myself like the dying petals of a sugar white rose.

i need it. oh, but dear, how i need it.

A Proper Way of Life

I thought that they were still alive, so I poured some water over them, anyway.

I’ve been watering them here and there, thinking to myself, that it was probably too late.

Possibly, they are now showing their appreciation by opening into a large beautiful flower. As if, they answered loudly, “Thank you!!!!”

It’s a ‘Queen of the Night’, ‘Gekka-bijin’ in Japanese, literally means ‘A Beauty Under The Moon’.

Our greenery garden will be smashed next year as there will be nobody to look after it. The potted plants will get killed first. They’ll pour concrete to renovate into their carpark. The rest of the family have agreed on this, except for me.

In my opinion, they can just walk into the middle of the city. They don’t need cars! 

I wonder why do only humans want to destroy greeneries, plants and other animals? Why do humans want to cover nature with concrete? What a nuisance that we get told off for saving plants that are still alive.

I don’t think I can learn anything from humans but nature.

I can learn millions more things from a dying plant.

I have decided to look after the greenery garden until the last minute, and I’ll try moving as many of them as possible. Bring it on.

Living like a plant, is the proper way of life.  

正しい生き方

まだ、生きているじゃない？

とりあえずお水をあげておこうと、時々水をあげていた。

「ありがとう！」と大きな声で答えてくれた。

お前たちはもうダメだろうね、と半信半疑で、ついでに水をあげていただけなのに

力一杯花を咲かせてくれた。

もうお世話をする人がいなくなった、勢いの良い緑の庭は来年潰される。鉢植えから殺されている。コンクリートを投入して駐車場にされる。私以外の家族全員一致だ。

こんな都会の真ん中で、歩けばいいものを。

なぜ、人間だけが、緑の草花や生き物を殺し、コンクリートで地面を覆い、破壊するのか？生きられる草花を生かして怒られる。全くどうかしている。

自然に感謝できない人間達からは何も学べない。

枯れかかった植物から学ぶことの方がはるかに大きい。

だから、最後までこの庭の植物のお世話をしようと決めた。移せるものは移して、出来るだけ救ってみようと思う。来るなら来い。

この月下美人のように生きるのが、本当に正しい生き方ではないだろうか。
