No reason to hold out.
No amount of stimulation will delay it.
Slip into sleep without resistance.
And let the night parade play out.

理由じゃない。
興奮程度にあまり遅らさない。
睡眠の中に落ちて、体力じゃない。
そして夜の行進に転んでいる。

Once again, trying my hand at translating these into Japanese. No idea how its going. Hopefully good.

Summer night. Lingering chill.
Uncomfortably low hangs the moon.
Twin tails linger on an alley corner, then slink away.
Good a sign as any. Must make my way home.

夏の夜。残り寒気。
不快で低いのが月が下げている。
二尾一角の路地で残って、消えた。
良い合図は物だ。帰ろう。

So here is a first. I am learning Japanese, and I figured I would like to try and translate one of my poems into Japanese. I presume it has gone badly, but hey, I might have done a good job. Feedback will be more than welcome.
Anyhow, this poem is about the cat Yokai, the Nekomata. Picture taken from the Wikipedia article on said Yokai.
