The wall of lament is heaped up
+
The fool's god is revered
+
To live is a poisoned cup, the suffering of baseless worry
+
Who can grant me the means to drink it dry
+
The sage's eagle, said to dwell in the sun
+
Only the beating of its wings echoes
+
In these two eyes reside
+
Dark and light, on which side?
+
I must gaze toward tomorrow
+
I wonder if that is what I should do
+
A city of parched rubble
+
Connecting points and lines
+
All that remains are meaningless things
+
I cradle my body and soothe it
+
Droplets drip into the dark culvert
+
Raise the poisoned cup; even if this life is full
+
The dream of death we long for drifts ashore
+
Claws sinking into the fortress, a solitary eagle
+
Only the wingbeats rise, spiraling
+
In that azure sky, mete out the stoning
+
I stand at the place where heaven and earth meet
+
Memories, like blossoms bearing fruit
+
Only scorched, blistered, desiccated husks
+
I wonder where it has gone
+

Cold skin, draw near and touch it
+
Let the wounds of the chest meet other wounds
+
A map we must trace again
+
The world has unseen wings
+
Shoot down the pure white bird
+
To live is a toast; the pleasure passed from mouth to mouth
+
Even the thirsting laugh and breath falter, gasping
+
In the palms of entwined comfort
+
Ah, to die a glorious death and scatter so beautifully
+
Beyond ecstasy, you are still there
+
The wall of lament is broken down
+
The foolish people are slaughtered
+
To live is a poisoned cup; the sorrow of loving
+
Who will grant me the means to drain it dry
+
The silent eagle that sleeps beneath the moon
+
Only its cry descends, fluttering down
+
Raise the toast; even if my life is full
+
The cowardly death-game goes on without end
+
Claws gnawing into the fortress, a solitary eagle
+
Only the wingbeats rise, dancing upward
+
In that azure sky, mete out the stoning
+
I see the moment when crime and punishment are born
+
