From the Sakin poetry collection
|
|
|
|
His older sister spits blood, his younger sister breathes fire,
|
|
|
|
and poor Tomino spits his soul.
|
|
|
|
Tomino falls into hell alone,
|
|
|
|
a dark ashen hell without flowers.
|
|
|
|
Is the one striking the whip Tomino's older sister?
|
|
|
|
Who's bleached it red, I wonder?
|
|
|
|
Hit and hit harder, don't forget to stop,
|
|
|
|
an endless hell down one road.
|
|
|
|
I'll leave you to guide him to this dark hell,
|
|
|
|
where gold sheep and nightingales lie.
|
|
|
|
Stash everything into this sack until it's filled up,
|
|
|
|
prepare yourself for this endless hell.
|
|
|
|
Spring be coming, in the forest, in the valley,
|
|
|
|
the swirling vortex leading to hell.
|
|
|
|
Nightingale in the cage, sheep in the wagon,
|
|
|
|
poor Tomino starts to cry.
|
|
|
|
Cry, beautiful voice of the nightingale, to the forest's rain,
|
|
|
|
yelling, longing to see his younger sister.
|
|
|
|
Crying echoing through the soul reverberates through hell,
|
|
|
|
Kitsune-no-botan[[!template id=fnref t=1]] flowers bloom.
|
|
|
|
Hellish torrent destroying the earth,
|
|
|
|
poor Tomino's lonesome journey.
|
|
|
|
If they're in Hell bring them,
|
|
|
|
in the mountain of nails bring me the one that will pin them down.
|
|
|
|
Don't stab with the red nail though,
|
|
|
|
the sign of poor Tomino.
