Memories Fading Away
by Hideo Yokokawa
In memory of Mary Rising Higgins


I was advised of the death of Mary Rising Higgins
by Jeanne Shannon@who had attended her deathbed.

How many years since then?

Mary was an avant-garde poet who had been
seeking after the absolute sound of language itself
and the sense and consciousness arising from there.
She called it a sound of romance.
Feeling that I have to leave notes somehow or other,
from time to time these days,
 I took a pen to record something.
For my writing poems in English,

Mary was one of my teachers of the language.
She gave me a substantial acoustic sense of English.
Here in my study,
a noble scent of white lilies in a vase is
wafting from the next room.

How many years since then?
