but the waters surge and wash
your feet at every instant
there is nothing new in the world
it’s all a matter of birth and clan
fire transforms into air
and water will recycle
before your eyes and not consult your desires
and earth will be reborn through fire
the earth is smoldering, smoldering
while the infinite is ablaze
and you, possessed by darkness
admire a land of haze
the wet and smoky fields
the coolness of your hometown brook
perhaps this flood is a
gift from God
fire and light?
