Sagawa Chika (左川ちか, 1911–1936)
translated by Sawako Nakayasu

Morning bread

In the morning I see several friends escaping from the window.

Temptation of the green insect. In the orchard a woman stripped of her socks is murdered. Morning, sporting a silk hat, follows along from behind the orchard. Carrying a newspaper printed in green.

I, too, must finally get off the hill.

The city cafés are beautiful glass spheres, and a troop of men have drowned in wheat-colored liquid.
Their clothing spreads in the liquid.
Madam with the monocle tears off her last hunk of bread and hurls it at them.
in Sagawa Chika Zenshishû (Collected Works of Sagawa Chika)
