I Once Saw/From Above
I once saw caterpillars become butterflies,
And Fly high, high into the ash cloud, then plummet to the ash below.
I once saw a rose open its petals under the sun,
As if wanting to embrace and be embraced.
Then from above a hand eclipsed its sun,
And descended towards it, and unknowingly gave the rose the gift of his last breath.
From above I carefully observed to every detail,
From plants decaying to the young child dying.
From above, high above,
I witness something called the symphony of death.
