柿が赤くて住めば住まれる家の木としてthe persimmons red — a house grows livable when you live in it, and this its tree

庭の柿が赤く色づいている。粗末な住まいでも、住んでみればどうにか住めるものだ。赤い実をつけた柿の木が、この家の木として自分に寄り添ってくれている。住むことをゆるされたような、静かな安堵の句。The persimmon in the garden has ripened red. Poor as the dwelling is, once you live in it you find it can, after all, be lived in. The persimmon tree with its red fruit stands close by him as the tree of this house. A poem of quiet relief, as if he had been granted permission to dwell.
