"Waves" by Chika Sagawa.
The sailors are laughing, with their teeth bared
like on the barrel organs thrashing
about all over the place.
Unflaggingly, they press the bellows
with their entire bodies while laughter
passes from shore to shore.
The laughter we have today is captive to the eternal,
and silence only grows deeper still
because the tongue is simple like a pair of clappers.
Now, people simply open their mouths as when yawning.
