その日は車の中で目を覚ました
山にせき止められた陽の光と騒がしい蝉の声が身体にしみ入り
背中は汗で白いシャツがぴったりと張り付いて離れない
ぼやけた視界のまま外を歩けば 遠い空の向こうには入道雲が音もなく湧き上がり
風で揺れ動く木々の隙間からはいくつもの光芒がはっきりと目に映る
慌ててカメラを取りに車へと戻ると
振り返る頃にはその姿はなかった
僕はもう一度蝉の声に耳を澄ました
I woke up that day in the car.
The sun’s rays choked by the mountains and the sound of noisy cicadas seeped into my body.
My back was sweaty and my white shirt was stuck to my back.
I walk outside with blurred vision, and across the distant sky, the clouds rise without a sound.
I can clearly see a number of glowing rays of light through the trees swaying in the wind.
I hurried back to the car to get my camera.
By the time I looked back, they were gone.
I listened to the sound of cicadas once more.
