Kappa
I laughed at the faces of
the simple-minded
who crafted a verse to glorify
the plentiful of human fat and
if the fat was the purpose of man
all pigs would be in Heaven
and the wind heard
my statement and blowing
warm air it embraced
the Kore’s
sweetened body
since the waters flowed
serenely in the creeks and
dreams turned into reality
boys kicked a ball in the open field
that became an expression of the Superb
even if wishes remained unsaid
death would delay coming this evening
let the tree leaves rustle and
crickets hymn their hymns
I laughed at the faces
of the simple-minded
who bowed their heads to
the future justification
in the afterlife
and I said,
they deserve a better reward
if they can only open
their eyes, and if they raise their heads
to look at the virginal dawn
and glance at the lissome girl
freed from the bonds of littleness
the smart ones were teaching them
I laughed at the faces
of the simple-minded and
I realized that I came to this world
early, and with only one concern:
the laughter of the child and
the stirring of the flower petals
I laughed at my daring destiny
before the moment I appeared on earth
to get drunk on the endlessness of the sky
and to admire the miracles of my mind
that came to stir the calm waters of the lake
my mind was giving birth to
immortal immortality
