Just as the fire rages in the furnace
when the wind rushes through the stoker
you are blowing your breath all over
the coals of my anxieties
...
If it is to win the battle
That you have taken up arms
Just go once
To visit the graves of warriors
...
rosy breeze on the air,
silky dew in my palm
milky rays from the moon
in my room
...
