In a morning mist, a pine corn that someone lost was waiting for the next owner. As if it were a spaceship lost in the universe, the door was closed tightly and no one could pick it up. Only a person who has a innocent focal point may see it.

不時着した宇宙船のように、松ぼっくりが朝露に濡れていた。

Of course this is just a kind of no-entry sign for campers. Even if you go over there, nothing should happen. No dangerous places, no bears, just going around a small pond, you will back here. In the morning mist, it looked somehow strange.

どうというわけでもないのだが、ゲートが朝露の中で少し落ち着かなく見えた。

A running water was telling the end of the small pieces of indecisive summer. Nobody could no longer remember that kids were shrieking with delight around the water. A new school semester has just begun. A season of playing with water was over. Because leaves of street trees covering pavements start turning the colour to be yellow.

流れ落ちる水に子供達の楽しそうな声が想像できなくなった頃、どちらつかずの夏が終わって街路樹の葉が少しずつ黄色になってきた新学期、水が嬉しい季節も終わろうとしている。

It was in a listening attitude with eyes staring at me. It seemed not so easy to catch it because it was on a branch 10 meters high. It should be enough prudent, different from me.

遥か頭上の枝の上でそれは用心深く聞き耳をたてながら、じっとこちらを凝視していた。

Everything was going well. In the gentle sunlight, nothing was to be concerned. All I need to do was to think about the future, as a stranger there, in an ordinary park.
Horizontal lines are very stable. Even on the sea wave, when you see the horizon, you should feel somehow calm. Sometime, however, you may find that there are uncertain, vertical and unstable structure over there, and then, you will be consumed by anxiety.
This is the world we know, unfortunately and fortunately.

ボードウォークの水平な板を見ながらほっとした時間を過ごしていると、突然気がついたりする訳である。その向こうに曖昧に揺れる縦縞に。

When I was a naughty kid, I used to walk along a small brook to find something interesting. I had no particular reasons but it was my pleasure to see small insects, fishes or sometimes twinkling reflections. I found something into a cloud on a water, I missed something under the reflection. Now, I don’t have curious eyes but hopefully a small imagination.

子供の頃は水の中を覗き込んでは何かを発見することができたものだが、今はともかく興味深いものは何も見つからない。その代わり、気のせいなのかもしれないが、想像力だけはついてきた気がしている。
