SERENE AND SLOW…

I set the night-colored flowers
On the hem of your florid quilt—
All dream-hued flowers
Plucked in the dark of night…

I give the white, colorless flowers
To your vibrant dream,
For you to sleep in peace on the white sheet,
Serene as a jasmine…

Do you see
How ‘uneventful life’
Changes with love?
How you, woman,
Are blooming again,
Slow…
Slow…
Slow…
