Kino no Tabi:Volume 16 Booklet

"Tale of Cages" — Cradle —

Say Kino,
You know, don't you?
You can't take them along.


Everyone will grow up here.
Everyone will grow up here
Until they stop moving altogether.


Say Kino,
You know, don't you?
That child can't fly.


Everyone lives here because they can't take wing.
Everyone with feet firm on the ground—
Huh. Actually, they can only tumble about in odd directions.


Say Kino,
You know, don't you?
Travelers can only keep on flying.
And that they have to continue on, all the more because they can.
