Clean, mottled, the kissed cows were walking in peace,

and thankful was their lightly green grass.

The red people, upright, were conducting white heaps      

of demiurgic clouds into the ground.

The ocean is driving light boats on the moon.

A reversed world, light out of darkness;

a heart of present.

Eyes open toward one another,

and it is as if, through the air between them,

their eyelashes interlace.

Sandy eyes and flecks of sunlight on her face,

the leopard emanates her own light

on a cloudy day.
