Janggi pieces in the fountain,
Water studded with stone medallions.
Familiar things like that
Will be destroyed when it's time for it.
If flowers are laid in the pyre
And the petals do not burn
But flutter in the tongues of fire
Stranger things like that
Will be asked to leave as well.
City, bamboo, city-bamboo,
Bleach on the wind,
Ruby flash in the window,
Dashboard blue,
It needs to be broken down now,
and try to accept the hard thing.
So when it's time to break down,
Please Say The Name Of Every Sky
To console what has to be done now
Before you can stop
And don't leave out a single one.
The brave sky with the storming sun,
The deep over Eden and darkling Sinai,
The irretrievable unstolen one,
the trembling one With Dragonflies.
Until there are no more to come
And evening dies and morning dies.
The dark sky over Horeb
Will crack and fold,
And then,
Try to accept the hard thing.
