The last Martian poet, Alone in the moonlight

Across a silent black space to the stars to land upon a dead, dreaming world.

誰が夢見た火星なんだろう?死んだ後の星
ブラッドベリーの夢の中の「そのスペース」

Being the “first” men to Mars wore off.

1番?(、、、ああRADIOは?伝わってなかったの?16の墓)

The first night on Mars

They had risked their lives to do a big thing!
さすが!火星探検?!

The spoons moved in the double moonlight
火星の月はまだ映像で見たことないな!
あの!いつか見た「火星の写真集」には、、、なぜ火星の二つの月映ってないの?
「青い」火星の空の物語を読む2026年

Some wouldn’t talk about return trip.
火星から戻るつもりなく行く「2026年の現実の地球人」はいま、いくつ?
もちろん1950年の火星の物語は読んでから行くの?

That city is dead
And has been dead
a good many thousand years.
死に続ける町

“Dead”
え?死んじゃってるって、、、あの噂には聴いたけど(まだ読んでない)
「地球人が持ち込んだ病気」かなにか?
そのお話し???

“chicken pox”

“Did you see anything alive?”
It’s not right and it’s not fair.
ああ、地球っぽいな!
A mirror!
正しくなくってフェアじゃないなんて!

We’d given the Martians time to arrange their death robs,

ああ!時間?

Some other excuse for dying.

The air
Enjoying the way it was made.
地球の花と同じ香り?
地球とは違う塵
On the empty sea lands.

And somehow mountains will never sound right to “us地球人”?

ああ!セイロンティ?
そしてどうしてだか
島の名前は「私たち地球人」には
あんまいいかんじに聞こえないの?
島は「セイロン」と名前を変え、地球人は「セイロンティ」を今も飲む
(、、、ブリストルの銅像?BLM!
奴隷貿易やってた人の銅像は、「社会運動」で水に落とされた
「ブリストルの音楽ホールの名前」はちゃんと変えておいて「報道」もしといたんだけどな)

Well give them new names
イギリス人は「植民地」支配する時に、、、名前を変えたあの島!

え?
うちの近所の「あの公園の名前」?「あの橋の名前」?
somehow parks and bridges will never sound right to who?
誰が?「移民」?やって来て名前変えちゃいたいの?大阪の公園!大阪の橋!
We’ll give them new names
ああ!「新しい名前」?
でも!なんで幸西橋を?「幸橋」に?ややこしくない???
なんなんだろう?バベルのぷーぶりっじ!

Will we never touch Mars?
“We won’t ruin Mars,”
、、、ああ確かに!
“We Earth Men have a talent to ruining big, beautiful things.”
例えば、、、(うちの近所のバベルと散歩した「あの道」の桜の木とか?)
おおきくて!うつしい!大阪という町を、、、?
Object lessons to civilizations

“And the moon be still as bright.”

Racing twin moon
Double shadows

A timeless water

Where people had gone
The wind lived and over
What they had been

How they had built this city to last the ages though, and had they ever come to Earth?

Done similar silly things when silly things were done

The moons held and froze them

The last Martian poet

Though the night was made for loving,
And the day returns too soon,

Alone in the moonlight

It was a morning that might have been a Monday or a Tuesday or any day on Mars

Drifted with slow unconcern
a body, a gun

The sun was shining upon Mars

The last Martian with a gun
Walked down to the rocket

“If there’s a Martian around, I’m all for him.”

The rocket lay in the sun
Awakening from a dream

Martians stopped where Earth Man should have stopped a hundreds years ago

Atom bomb depots on Mars?…art and religion and everything!

Mars is finished

Fighting for bases to have wars 76years later from 1950?

Earth Man ruins one planet…still going on?

The earth people will give up trying? NASA? Are they coming to Mars in 2026?

What life was for?
A lost people
Knocking down religion
Animals just lives,
doesn’t question life

Interpretation
of that miracle…art!

One around the gun
The other around the silver book
That glittered in the sun

Singing of heat in the land
Off the rocks, off the Martian BLUE SKY

Now relaxmax knows…the Martian SKY is not BLUE in 2026

Why live?
“Tell me about your civilization here on Mars.”
