We were supposed to go to the Canary Islands on the day.
But Michuki said he wanted to go out for a picnic.
Michuki has his own world, I thought.
And so, I left for the Canary Islands by myself.
I got up early to make box lunch for him and set out on a twenty-four
hour journey.

When I arrived, I called home.
"You already arrived? Did you find camels?"
Michuki has been into a world map these days.
Yes, this Spanish island is closer to the Sahara desert.
"I haven't seen camels yet... I'll come home after I sleep five nights,
alright?" I replied.
"OK. When you come home, take a look at a picture of my shiny lunch
box, will you?"

Thinking of my beloved son.
From the western island, far and far away from Japan.
