好きな人から手紙が届いた。手紙の文章はとても丁寧で慎重な言葉使いだったけど、どんな姿勢で書かれたものか、それを示す手がかりはなかった。テーブルに足を乗せ、仰け反りながら無造作に綴ったのかもしれないし、長時間座り続けて、膝を痛めながら慎重に言葉を選んだのかもしれない。雑踏に満ちたショッピングセンターのフードコートで集中力を途切れさせながら書かれたものかもしれない。または踊りながらー。
受け取る側が目にするのはただそこに並ぶ言葉だけ。でも、もしかしたら書き手はこちらが想像できない姿勢で書いてくれていたのかもしれない。
A letter arrived from someone I love. The sentences were written with great care and formality, but there was no clue as to the posture in which they had been composed. Perhaps the words were strung together casually, feet propped on a table, body leaning back. Or maybe they were chosen with painstaking attention, after long hours of sitting that left the knees aching. They could have been written in the middle of a noisy shopping mall food court, the writer struggling to keep focus. Or perhaps while dancing—.
What reaches the recipient are only the words on the page. Yet it may be that the writer had been writing in a posture I could never imagine.
