WATER VEIN III WOMAN (EN) Poem by Masayo Koike

The big elm tree shaken gracefully by the
Small birds all together who
Landed on the
Snow-covered path

Big drops of happiness scattered from heaven
Like anger
Beat against
The soft muddy earth

Our breasts are full

Still a little
Weak but
The barbarian complex light from the sun
Birds the weight of small lemons
Gather
Disperse
Again gather

The mighty grip that grasps and releases
Works on the land in Spring

Woman,
Vividly,
On the surface of the water intuition describes the shape of a soul
