The Day When Mountains Move
Akiko Yosano

The day when mountains move has come.
Though I say this, nobody believes me.
Mountains sleep only for a little while
That once have been active in flames.
But even if you forgot it,
Just believe, people,
That all the women who slept
Now awake and move.

This poem was originally published in 1911 in Seitõ ("Blue Stocking"), a Japanese litarary magazine. It was reprinted from The Burning Heart: Women Poets of Japan (translated and edited by Kenneth Rexroth and Ikuko Atsumi, Seabury Press, 1977)
