椿ひらいて墓があるa camellia opens and there is a grave

椿が咲いて、その下に墓がある。誰の墓とも言わない。花の赤と石の静けさが並んでいるだけで、生きているものと死んだものの距離が、ふっと近くなる。A camellia has bloomed, and beneath it there is a grave. Whose grave, he does not say. With only the red of the flower and the stillness of the stone set side by side, the distance between the living and the dead grows suddenly small.
