A Republic

Poem by Bun Onoe
Poetry Reading + translation by Riyu

The walrus shall drift over the Atlantic,
carrying an egg on his fin
The Galpagos magnificent frigate bird that’s hanging from a tree,
gradually turned into a red apple
Before I knew it, North Carolina was out of sight, it had sunk to the
bottom of the sea
Two eyes are peeping in the darkness
It could be a soldier who had been thrown out of the army

The elephant trainer with a turban on his head is sleeping
On a beach where stars are falling incessantly
The Teleogryllus emma is chirping,
on top of a guitar that somebody left on the beach
A girl is smiling with an olive on her palm
In the depths of the jungle, the snakes are breakdancing all through
the night

Radio Radio
A radio that’s talking to himself on the table

As I listen carefully to the somewhat spacey voice
I am drinking a cup of coffee
