焼いてしまへばこれだけの灰を風吹くburn it all and only this much ash — the wind blows

「身辺整理」と前書がある。書きためたものを焼いてしまえば、残るのはこれだけの灰。その灰さえも風が吹いて散らしてゆく。持たない身の、最後の整理。Headed "putting my affairs in order." Burn the things he has spent years writing, and all that remains is this much ash. Even that ash the wind blows and scatters away. The last tidying-up of a man who owns nothing.
