Butterfly/Rainbow
Rainbow shimmers
a memory of Butterfly
having been here
On Butterfly’s shoreline
Rainbow slumbers
What Rainbow
could not articulate
a butterfly
Sky’s
reincarnation as a rainbow
Butterfly
Butterfly is
tuning Rainbow
Rainbow
rises
Butterfly
alights
[English translation by Takako Lento]
Nectar’s Root
Apple
growing
outward
being
split
by
Nectar
welling
touched into swaying
Nectar
says
Me
Nectar meets Nectar
pressed
into
singing
Apple
touches
Nectar
what its flower has seen
resonates
in order to be forgotten
from within
Flower
opens
outward
Nectar
enters
into
the heart
of
rain
to be beaten
against the earth
scent
trails from
flowers
disorienting
Wishing
to
bloom
to
be
something
different
[English Translation by Takako Lento]
