冬の入り口

ほんの昨日までは夏だった。そして今日は冬の入り口。
昨晩ふった砂まじりの雨。
三月のおわりの、春をつげる最後の雨から数えて二回目の雨。
ガラガラと配水管の詰まりを直すような、そんな音の雨だった。


It rained last night. Rain with heavy sand from the sky. It was just like the feeling of fixing a pipe after not having used it for a long time. It sounded just like that.
It was the second rain in a long time after the last rain in March that told us the spring had came.

Yesterday, it was still summer and, now today, the winter has began.
