The Channel Where The Water-Table Joins The Ocean

hiromi suzuki



Dim horizon stole the dusk at the corner of corridor in Cavern Hotel. Flies which are playing hide-and-seek in incandescent lamp turn on the lights in unison on the ceiling.

Thunderstorm can occur over the channel where the water-table joins the ocean. The voice jumps out of the cathode ray tube. Room key has been broken. Only the voice of weather forecaster is walking on the beach surrounding the island.

The tide is at the full. The waves are roaring with pain. A wrecked ship carrying a mimic of Elvis singing with ukulele is swallowed into the monstrous cloud. Forecast says the hard rain will continue forever. We will not be able to distinguish between the sky and the sea.
