真冬の部屋に スタンドの円い灯
毛糸を一玉 膝で転がす
編み針が触れて 小さく鳴る夜
誰のでもない マフラーを編む
大和の母は 誰かの丈を
測って編んだ 役目のように
私は寸法を 持たずに編む
誰にも渡さぬ 私だけの目
一目落ちた 毛糸がふいに緩む
編み針が止まる 息も止まる
解けば全部 最初に戻る
戻すか進むか 針が迷う
落とした目は 編み地の真ん中
引けば一本 糸に戻る列
完ぺきに編み直す ことも出来る
でも今夜は この目のまま
手を止めれば 部屋が広くなる
大きな静けさに 飲まれぬように
指を動かす 数えるように編む
埋めるんじゃない 続けたいだけ
解かずに進む 針を動かす
一目の緩みを 指でならして
毛糸玉が 少し小さくなる
夜の残りが まだ長く続く
落とした目を 抱えたまま進む
編みかけのまま 膝に下ろす
誰に見せる あてもない長さ
円い灯の下 伸びてゆく毛糸

Wool Nocturne
Akemi
Wool Nocturne is a mid tempo city pop track that portrays a deep winter night spent knitting a scarf meant for no one.
The round glow of a floor lamp, a ball of wool rolling over the knees, the faint click of needles, and a dropped stitch that could unravel into a single thread again create a quiet, solitary scene where a private stretch of time, watched over by no one, takes shape.
Performed by the fictional AI singer Akemi, the song captures the loneliness of adulthood that knits for herself rather than carrying the role of knitting for someone else, holding the dropped stitch instead of undoing it, and choosing to grasp her solitude as her own time rather than filling it.
Inspired by the late 1970s to early 1980s Japanese new music and city pop, the track reimagines that era quiet lyricism through images of winter nights, the air of a room, and the small sounds of handwork.
The moment she notices the slipped stitch, the needle pauses between starting over and moving on, and she chooses to go forward with the stitch as it is.
She keeps knitting a length she will never show to anyone, not to fill the emptiness but simply because she wants to continue, in a portrait of a quiet and deliberate solitude.
