THE RIVER STANDS UP
there's a river which is standing up
it isn't lying down
then threads of water creat some space
for the mercifulness flows continuously
for the sunlights warm up the grass
and in those months
fish swim up in the standing river to lay eggs
you, a young girl, takes a walk in the rain
you swim in the standing river
and fish lay eggs in the lying river
just because it's lying
doesn't mean it isn't merciful
if you cut the river in the middle, it will die
fish swim along the current, far from the source
you swim along the alluvial, far from me
you grow up in the changing life, leave your father who feels pleased with his fate
where you live
there's a wedding season with a vase and flowers are happy and sorrowful with buds
there's a anti-season wind with the young shoots greeting the angry leaves
the river's standing up then it's lying down
in the circle of walking and swimming
