THE DAY THE MOUNTAINS MOVE by Yosano Akiko (1878-1942)
(tr. by Laurel Rasplica Rodd, YATD, p. 180)
---------------------
The day the mountains move has come.
I speak, but no one believes me.
For a time the mountains have been asleep,
But long ago they all danced with fire.
It doesn't matter if you believe this,
My friends, as long as you believe.
All the sleeping women are now awake and moving.
