Kawa Karpo - Dike

See, volcano is bleeding
Bleeding as pasture bleeding its eyes of silver
Don't you know?
Above sky would live as veins live in your body

I will count a single hour in order to receive rain
Rain of light, rain of white haze, rain of naked pain
Around me were echoing monotone empty sounds

Shall we be more dumb and colorless hearted
Than volcano is now and before
Not assailing
By any daring and hardihood
But volcano, did you burn variegated skin of
Unmeasurable land and its rain drenched hair?
Weary sentences are not powerful beside you
I shall not care what you behold in vast
Country that covered by greedy name of volcano

Kawa Karpo
