契約切れで作業場を離れていったのは３月頃だったか。
繁華街の片隅で屈託のない笑顔を半年ぶりに見かけた。
何も無い街で、何も持たず、月日だけを重ねる至福の時。
しかし激しいスコールの雨音は、やがてアスファルトの照返しの中に消えてしまった。
ネオンのギラツキが路上の横顔を照らす。
すれ違いざまの背中に小さく手を振ってくれた。

 
 
It was around Mar when she left the plant after her contract expired.
I saw her carefree smile in a corner of downtown for the first time in half a year.
In an empty town, with nothing to hold, but the bliss of the passing months for two.
But the sound of a heavy squall of rain soon faded into the heatwave on the road.
The glare of neon lights illuminated the profile on the street.
She gave me a small wave on my back as we passed each other.
