飛行機雲 | Jet Contrail

小学校の校庭
空を見上げると青空の青の深いところ
飛行機雲が一直線に東へ向かう

小学校の校舎
四階の教室の窓
生駒山の南の切れ端に飛行機が見える

飛行機はどんどん近づいて
窓から飛行機は消える
エンジンの音は轟々と響いて
いちばん大きな音になって
また遠ざかる

着陸態勢

いろんな色の灯りの下
どこに僕の町があるのかわからないけれど
飛行機はどんどん低くなって
梅田のビルの高さすれすれのように

飛行機が着陸する度に
僕の足は緊張する
仁丹のネオン
お父さんのワゴン車

ただいま。

***
At the school yard of my elementary school
When I look up, a jet contrail stretches out to the east in the depth of blue in the blue sky

In the school building of my elementary school
At my classroom on the fourth floor
Through the window, an airplane can be seen appearing from the south edge of Mount Ikoma

The airplane flies closer and closer
And the airplane can no longer be seen through the window
Sound of the airplane's jet engine is sounding loudly
With the loudest sound in my ear, the sound goes further and further

Landing

Under the colourful lights of the city, I don't know where my town is located
The airplane is flying low, as tall as buildings in Umeda

Every landing, I feel tense in my legs and feet
Neon Sign of Jintan
My father's van

I'm home.
