さんま、さんま、さんま 苦いか 塩つぱいか


初秋刀魚

この佐藤春夫の「秋刀魚の歌」を知ってからは秋刀魚を食べる度に切ない気持ちになる。
---------------------------
あはれ
秋風よ
情〔こころ〕あらば伝へてよ
――男ありて
今日の夕餉〔ゆふげ〕に ひとり
さんまを食〔くら〕ひて
思ひにふける と。

さんま、さんま
そが上に青き蜜柑の酸〔す〕をしたたらせて
さんまを食ふはその男がふる里のならひなり。
そのならひをあやしみてなつかしみて女は
いくたびか青き蜜柑をもぎて夕餉にむかひけむ。
あはれ、人に捨てられんとする人妻と
妻にそむかれたる男と食卓にむかへば、
愛うすき父を持ちし女の児〔こ〕は
小さき箸〔はし〕をあやつりなやみつつ
父ならぬ男にさんまの腸〔はら〕をくれむと言ふにあらずや。

あはれ
秋風よ
汝〔なれ〕こそは見つらめ
世のつねならぬかの団欒〔まどゐ〕を。
いかに
秋風よ
いとせめて
証〔あかし〕せよ かの一ときの団欒ゆめに非〔あら〕ずと。

あはれ
秋風よ
情あらば伝へてよ、
夫を失はざりし妻と
父を失はざりし幼児〔おさなご〕とに伝へてよ
――男ありて
今日の夕餉に ひとり
さんまを食ひて
涙をながす と。

さんま、さんま
さんま苦いか塩つぱいか。
そが上に熱き涙をしたたらせて
さんまを食ふはいづこの里のならひぞや。
あはれ
げにそは問はまほしくをかし。

Bus rider back home

Overheard a conversation between two senior ladies on the bus way back to home from work. One lady said she was worried about her daughter not getting married. "I was worried about her going out when she was young, and was careful not to let her go on date with some boys, but now I regret what I did. If she had more chances of meeting, she would've been married by now." The other lady was telling her that she was embarrassed by her daughter married to a man not from the good family. "Children of my brothers and cousins all married to the people from the good family. My daughter is the only one not married to such a good family. Even my husband's end relatives also married to decent family. I'm so embarrassed." The grass is greener on the other side of the fence. One is not happy about her daughter being single. One is not happy that her daughter doesn't belong to decent family that she can claim to her relatives. Probably both of them were trying to ...

20130601 Keiki Hula Ho'ike

20130601 Keiki Hula Ho'ike , a set on Flickr. After a few rehearsals and meetings in the mornings and evenings, the day of Hula show arrived. She had to go to elementary school in the morning though it's Sat, she left school early so that she could make it just enough to join the photo shooting. She was co-operative, and totally motivated and excited about the show. Her hair, outfit, dresses already left at the stage, got on a taxi, then we got to the venue. They started circle time already, getting ready for lining up for the photo. Then drama happened. I left her with the other girls and went look for her costume at back stage. They were moving around the stuff and I could not find it, had to search each room, then finally her stuff arrived. So I passed it to one of the teachers so that she could put it on to Ton. I went back to the stage, then found Ton crying so hard, came over to me. She insisted on staying with me, not dancing. Uh-oh. So, everybody, other...
