The Growing Ivy
Hold me like an ivy
on the elongated stem of a palm tree:
Let me remain green with you
Let me purify you with water in a diamond bowl
Let me cool you down in my serenity.
We are two;
Looking into my eyes together
Looking into your eyes together
We hid our lust in our hazy pupils
on a softly raining brown day.
Grass sprouts as much
in the soil and everything that rises from the soil,
The frisson of this grassy forest
Pours into my sight, and
You spring up in the form of being
Spreading across the boughs, spreading out singly.
You are neither a man nor a person
If I were a hornbill, I would call you sky.
You open your door, no one is there,
Helpless, this is how I always come to you.
Every moment renews in each waiting
And all yesterdays and pasts.
You are always with me
With you, everything is with me
Despite 7,000 km, I am with you.
Let’s bestow upon ourselves
the ocean that moves between us.
