I became a shrine maiden after I survived that flood.

I was half-dead when I awoke, alone amongst the corpses.

I could see things. Things that no one else could see.

That was my calling.

I purified my body, and when I arrived at the mountain, I was overwhelmed with a cacophony of voices.

The talking trees, the whispering stones, the weeping water.

Echoes of past prayers piled up one on top of another.

Time slowed to a crawl, and I could see each individual raindrop that fell.

The veins on every leaf stood out vividly.

Images of death flashed in front of me. I could smell the choking stench of death.

I was told I would need more training.

I wanted to flee as soon as I arrived, but I had no home to run away to.

No matter where I go, it will be the same. In the end, I will be alone.

巫女になったのは、
あの大水で生き残ってしまったから。

たくさんの亡骸の中で一人目覚めたとき、
私はもう半分死んでいたのかもしれない。

私は、人には見えないものが見えるように
なった。他の人と違うものが見えた。

私は巫女になるしかなかった。


今日は、御山に入った。
身体を削ぐような精進潔斎をして、
いよいよ御山に入ると、いろんな声が
一斉に聞こえてきて思わず耳をふさいだ。

木々の話し声、石のつぶやき、水の泣き声。

あらゆる場所に重ねられている祈りの跡。


時間がゆっくり流れて、御山に降る雨粒が
ひとつひとつくっきりとみえる。

蠢く木々の葉の一枚一枚の葉脈が
目に飛び込んでくる。

目の端にすばやく通り過ぎる死の風景たち。

むせ返るような死の匂い。


この想いたちの洪水の中で務めを行うには、
これから厳しい修行が必要だといわれた。

入ってすぐに御山から逃げだしたくなったけど
私には帰る場所がない。

どこに行っても、同じ。

一人で終わる。
