Nimbus Day 55 — Bottom side

なんかげつかごに イルカはてんごくへととびたちました
青色のイルカは 子どもと泳いだ夢を見ながら
てんごくを泳いでいます
(空が青いから白をえらんだのです 奈良少年刑務所詩集 edited by 寮 美千子: 青いイルカの物語より抜粋)

several months later
the dolphin flew away to heaven
and the blue dolphin is swimming
in heaven
as it dreams about how it swam
with the kid

(White was chosen because the sky is blue/Poetry from Nara Juvenile Detention Center edited by Ryo Michiko: Excerpt from The Story of the Blue Dolphin)
