A flower opens under the deep water
the deep water
I take a cord and throw it towards
the flower whose roots are so far down
whose roots are so far down
The spell of the deep is troubled
the ripple spreads all out
With my cord I try to snare the lotus
as if its heart lay deep beneath the water
The sun floats on the edge of the lake, balancing
it goes out, it goes down
it falls into the night and drowns
He falls into the night and drowns
as if his heart lay deep beneath the water
(inspired by Ly Y Hane/ Colored Stars)
