足元のｺﾝｸﾘｰﾄから伸びる小さな樹と､足元の世界に今年もやって来た【梔子】の主人公

こんにちは､こんばんは､おはようございます｡
今日も一日お疲れ様でした｡
昨日の雨上がりの涼しい月曜日から今朝は晴れた空に眩しい太陽､陽射しが痛く感じる暑い一日がまた戻って来ました
昨日の涼しさが恋しく感じる暑い火曜日
工業地帯の緑達は雲のようのﾓｸﾓｸ膨れ上がり
桜の樹もすっかり緑の綿飴のようです｡

写真は昨日の雨上がり湿ったｺﾝｸﾘｰﾄから伸びた小さな樹
ｸﾛｰﾊﾞｰの緑の茎じゃなく､本当に小さな樹が生えているような焦げ茶色の樹から生えたｸﾛｰﾊﾞｰ
何だか不思議で小人の世界の樹のようで可愛く感じ､思わず写真に撮ってしまいました……

祭明けのこちらはすっかり日常が戻り､週末に集まった大勢の人々の影も賑やかな声も消え穏やかな空気

祭の音や声が消えた町にはｶﾗｽが戻りｺﾞﾐを道路に散らかしてはｶｰｶｰと鳴きﾊﾞﾀﾊﾞﾀと羽音をあげながら真っ黒､まん丸な瞳で工業地帯を見つめています

と､晴れた火曜日
【梔子】の主人公が灰色の固い地面にﾋｮﾛﾋｮﾛと現れ足元の世界をまたじっと見つめていました……

慌ててｽﾏﾎを取りに行きｻﾞｸｻﾞｸと嫌な足音を響かせながら戻るとまだ足元の世界をじっと見つめていました……

傍によると､ﾋｮﾛﾋｮﾛと灰色の固い地面から小さな緑の森へ身を隠しまたじっとこちらの様子を伺っていました……

何だか可愛かったので手を伸ばしたら登ってこないかなと思ったのですが
ﾊﾞｻﾊﾞｻと物凄い速さで緑の森を駆け抜け見えなくなってしまいました……

まだ尻尾も生え変わっていない若いｶﾅﾍﾋﾞ君だったのかな……
灰色猫の居なくなった世界でこのｶﾅﾍﾋﾞ君はどんな冒険を､どんな一生をおくるのでしょうね……

最近見かけるｻﾋﾞ猫に捕まらないといいなと思いましたが
ｻﾋﾞ猫君の姿もまた見たいなと思う
欲張りな嫌な足音をたてて歩く巨人なのでした……

改めて【梔子】の物語､ｶﾅﾍﾋﾞ君の物語を思い出した暑い火曜日なのでした｡

今日も一日お疲れ様でした｡
汗かきさんも暑さに負けず､汗を拭ってあたたかな一瞬を見逃さないように
また明日もあたたかく生きましょう｡

明日も良い一日でありますように……
優しい風が心にそっと吹きますように……

また明日
生きろ｡

A small tree grows from the concrete beneath our feet, and the main character of [Cape jasmine], who has come to the world beneath our feet this year as well.

Hello, good evening, good morning.
 Thank you for your hard work today.
 After a cool Monday after yesterday’s rain, this morning the sky was clear, the sun was shining brightly, and the hot day was back again.
 It’s a hot Tuesday and I miss yesterday’s coolness.
 The greenery in the industrial area is swollen like a cloud.
 The cherry blossom trees look like green cotton candy.

 The photo shows a small tree growing out of damp concrete after yesterday’s rain.
 It’s not a clover’s green stem, but a clover that grows from a dark brown tree that looks like a really small tree.
 It felt strange and cute, like a tree from the dwarf’s world, and I couldn’t help but take a picture of it…

 After the festival, life has returned to normal here, and the shadows and lively voices of the crowds of people who gathered over the weekend have disappeared, creating a calm atmosphere.

 The crows return to the town where the sounds and voices of the festival have disappeared, scattering trash on the road, cawking and flapping their wings as they stare at the industrial area with their pitch-black, round eyes.

 And a sunny Tuesday
 The main character of [Cape Jasmine] suddenly appeared on the hard gray ground, staring intently at the world beneath his feet…

 I hurriedly went to get my smartphone and when I came back, the sound of footsteps echoing, I was still staring at the world at my feet…

 According to those nearby, it hid from the hard, gray ground into a small green forest and watched intently…

 It was kind of cute, so when I reached out my hand, I wondered if it would climb up on me.
 I ran through the green forest at an incredible speed and couldn’t see it anymore…

 I wonder if it was a young Kanahebi-kun whose tail hadn’t even grown yet…
 I wonder what kind of adventures and what kind of life this Kanahebi will lead in a world without gray cats…

 I was hoping I wouldn’t get caught by the sabby cats I’ve been seeing lately.
 I want to see Sabineko-kun again.
 He was a giant walking with greedy, disgusting footsteps…

 It was a hot Tuesday that reminded me once again of the story of [Cape Jasmine] and the story of Kanahebi-kun.

 Thank you for your hard work today.
 Even if you are sweating, don’t give in to the heat, wipe your sweat and don’t miss the warm moment.
 Let’s live warmly again tomorrow.

 I hope tomorrow is a good day too…
 May a gentle wind blow gently into your heart…

 see you tomorrow
 Live.
