おのれにこもる藪椿咲いては落ちshut into itself the wild camellia blooms and drops

藪椿は花のかたちのまま、ぽとりと落ちる。おのれにこもるように咲いては、落ちる。庵にこもって暮らす自分と、藪陰の椿とが重なって見える。咲くことと落ちることを、黙って繰り返す春。The wild camellia drops whole, its flower-shape intact, with a soft plop. Blooming as if shut into itself, it falls. He sees himself, shut up in his hut, overlapping with the camellia in the thicket's shade. A spring that silently repeats blooming and falling.
