Rain inside earth Fell the first rain drops.
You remind that we once initiated from the drop
of water. Crystal clear, you fell on me pure. For
me to realize that nature and things around were
all made of water. Overall was you waited for me
to come near. Calendar leaf on the wall was
starting itself a new day. Floor, picture frame,
furnitures always clean. Fragrant tea just
poured. Bowls and chopsticks had been dried.
Knife and scissors suddenly became sharp. Books
and copy-books neat to liking. And the door bolt
open itself when I stepped out.

When wearing the
anti-sunlight coat you looked like cocoon moving
in street. Vehicles spinned together with human
silk fibers. Piling up models of Jean
trousers, coarse cloth, fibers mixed with
silk
Beginning from you, plaited from you
the loosely large tunic. The moving cocoon rode
moped, paging through cell phone : I had the
meeting finished. You remember to wear hat and
drink much water. Past ten minutes, you went
to buy rice probably having just crossed one-way
road, at the turn. Or buy milk for the kid, most
quickly you only came near five-way crossroad.
You went through the wall
under scorching sunlight. Through houses similar
to loosely large tunics.

Sour fish soup added a few
onion petioles. You said why did I eat too slow.
Heard a whiff of denuded onion petioles in early
summer rain. Sound of wriggling fish startled
deserted night. And the scent of coriander
staying loath at the wall foot
Sour soup
bowl in the meal tray was like deep well its
bottom cant be seen. Alone you kept mum
until the onion petioles were done to a
turn. We were pests and ants self-confident to
overcome untold traps. Once survived though
having wrongly taken toxic drug. Human markets
being torpid of dream fits
The hot soup bowl open
narrow room door. Kids were back and the whole
family together ate.

The streak of my
lips was woodpecker on secular tree. The tiny
beak made forest trees change their leaves,
rotten wood trunk restored to life. Green
parasols covered, murmured, craned upright. Eyes
closed I listened inside the tree trunk and knew
that sun had risen, magnetic waves originated
seism, and star shot absent-mindedly. Four
seasons weather made instinct of woodpecker race
prosper. Turning up high. Then stooping on the
tree trunk to pray wholeheartedly :
Thanks rain from the
source, lightning, passing cloud
Thanks early dew,
land, night

You meditate in late
afternoon. Bird songs glued to one another. Your
forehead open endless fields of yellow flowers.
Foot widened immense for water to rustle. Back
straight - mountain hollow - light
drilling deep. Ten thousand measures were one,
where was one going. Looming in space a large
vase. Someone was coming back amid the drop of
transparent dew. Sound of thunder extremely deep.
Fragile petal craned up freely. Empty cup
silently flooded
All quiet at
standstill - clinical death to agglomerate
in you.
*
Your mouth slightly open a
quiet garden area. Bees flew back and made a hive
of my eyes. You looked up for the drop of
fragrant gold honey become viscous to slowly run
down the cup in my hand and the suit I wore but
reluctant to iron and the pair of shoes I forgot
to shine. Garden area calm in autumn. But on your
shoulders summer always poured roaring. Deep blue
sky blurred out low hanging signboards. I
couldnt stop stream of your sweat spurt in
june sunlight. But sweat shedding softened stone
block, softened parching track, even the trees.

We were splendid under
night wrapping. Mingled and adhered to wood veins
and grains, plaited baskets, light met at
filament of the bulb
We started, consecrated
each other. Became candle, clean water. Became
fresh flower, fragrant scent to worship
ancestors. River flowed to save forest in fire.
Sharp blade cut into sweet fruit. Stone slab
loose bits themselves flew with blowing wind. We
reincarnated into one another. Heard milk
stagnate in each leaf of grass, wild animals eyes
illuminated darkness, bitter drops ran back to
the bile, and ashes buried in ploughing beds. We
spread bodies and became other people, making
seed to depart warehouse yard, soot in kitchen
smoking-shelf, depart baskets, jars and
vases
to roll down the earth.
