From the BeholderA Poem by Nao DeguchiI was of three minds One, the beauty of inflections Two, the hunt for mystery Three, the indecipherable cause
These were just my belongings The imagined golden birds? The loving songs that would Not rest in my heart An immense dew of seeking That would not rest No matter how much I tried To live a normal life I was of three hearts Receptive, aggressive and mystical These were the water, flames and flakes Of my material of mind I was a drop of ether Left to color the lightning As the light meets A young alligators in the eyes.
