The last thing Katatsumoridako,
an ancient giant mollusk, saw
Was a blazing bright rainbow.
The last thing he heard
Was his own fading pulse.
The last thing he remembered
Was his former life, the one before last.
Her name, her long wet hair,
A fast car he bought
And crushed on the wrong side of the road.
And in the air, suddenly saturated with gasoline and oil,
“You can buy meat only in a marketplace!”
Hung her regular phrase cut short
As a half-finished drawing.
Valera has quite an eye for photography
His grasp of space and time
Stuns me so deeply
That I do not quite believe it
As I don’t believe in a higher consciousness, apart from my own.
In his former life before last, Katatsu never went to see movies.
In his former life, he was an ugly stupid woman,
Now he's a mollusk
Next, he will be reborn as one of Valera’s photos, framed on a wall, covering a crack.
