Giacobini Suisei no Hi

Listening to the news on the night FM
I turn off the lights in my room and move a chair to the window
I peer quietly through my small opera glasses
But all I see are clouds gliding past the moon and the persimmon tree swaying

October 9, 1972
I’m getting used to how seldom you call
I waited idly, all alone
As the meteor shower crossed far in the distance

It wasn’t really something that mattered
But I just wanted to go somewhere closer to the sky
I remember the fireworks we watched by the river, hand in hand
I tell myself that dreams are only fleeting

"It couldn’t be seen even from Siberia,"
My brother murmured as he spread the morning paper
Will it come again if I feel lonely?
The meteor shower with its glowing tail
