影もぼそぼそ夜ふけのわたしがたべてゐるmy shadow too chewing away late at night I am eating

「自嘲」と前書きされた句。夜ふけにひとり飯をたべれば、灯りに映る影もぼそぼそとたべている。連れは自分の影だけ。わびしさを、影との二人連れとして笑ってみせた。A verse prefaced "Self-mockery." When he eats alone late at night, the shadow the lamp throws is chewing away with him. His only companion is his own shadow. He turns his forlornness into laughter, a pair of himself and his shadow.
