Sothis

ALT ふぁ、とアレックスが大きな欠伸をした。外は雨、二人で読書に耽る秋の午後。彼の手元の本はさっきから全然進んでいない。 続いてデヴィッドが釣られたように大欠伸。ソファに飛び乗って僕たちの間で丸くなる。 それを微笑ましく見ていた僕にも欠伸が移ったから、どうやらそろそろ昼寝の時間みたいだね。 昼寝の時間（Nap Time） Alex let out a big yawn. It was a rainy autumn afternoon, and we were both lost in our books. Though the book in his hands hadn't gotten very far in quite some time. David followed with an enormous yawn, as if he'd caught it from Alex. He hopped onto the sofa and curled up between us. Watching them with an affectionate smile, I found myself yawning too. Looks like it's almost time for a nap.

ALT 顔を洗って歯を磨く。いつもの朝のルーティンだ。いつもと違うのは、ヘンリーがいないこと。色違いの歯ブラシの片方は、今朝も乾いたままだ。 忙しいのはわかってる。毎日連絡も取り合ってる。だけどやっぱり君の不在は寂しい。 ふたつ並んだ歯ブラシを少し羨ましく思いながら、僕は朝の支度に戻った。 歯ブラシ、並んで（Toothbrushes, Side by Side） I wash my face and brush my teeth. It’s my usual morning routine. The only difference is that Henry isn’t here. One of our two differently colored toothbrushes is still dry this morning. I know he’s busy. We talk every day, too. But I still miss having him here. A little envious of the two toothbrushes standing side by side, I return to getting ready for the day.
