The endless sky beyond is impossible to see, so I looked instead into the world of microorganisms living in a puddle at my feet. Watching them rush about, I thought— We worry about tomorrow’s weather, while they are absorbed in what is right in front of them. From where you are, you cannot see my face. —Ah, I see. Perhaps our world, too, is nothing more than something simple like this, after all. 水たまりの宇宙 あの果てしない空の先は 見ることができないから、 足元の水たまりにいる みじんこの世界をのぞいてみた。 忙しなく営む彼らを見て、思う。 明日の天気を考える僕らと、 目の前のことに夢中な彼ら。 君たちからは、 僕の顔なんて見えないだろう。 ——ああ、そうか。 もしかしたら僕らの世界も、 ただ、 シンプルに そんな感じなだけなのかもしれない。

A Universe in a Puddle
A cold Winter’s day A house barren of any life A single heartbeat Echos shyly in the air A fireplace yet to be lit
