If you love the sea by Terayama Shuji

If you love the sea


There are those who love the sea, and yet the sea is not a lover
The Sea is "La mer," in French, a feminine noun.

Whatever you write
upon water
will eventually
disappear.


However,


I am a poet who writes upon water.
I write love on water.


Even if the poems I write on water
disappear
each time I return to the sea,
I recall love.
