Mt. Fuji


At the edge of the volcanic zone
Arising in the midst of the Pacific Ocean
At the open sea of Mariana Islands
Around 20 degrees North and 140 degrees West and
Running in a straight line to the north
Mt. Fuji was born

A newborn in an early stage of the alluvial epoch
Far younger than
The appearance of the human beings

The strangeness of the Creator gave the mountain
A graceful gorgeous shape of high nobility

This mountain too just exists
It is
Nothing more than an existence

So to speak
It is a tiny eruption
On the surface of the earth
