O my prince! How colourful
the jungle sounds that
rush down the mountain stream
and silence your croak
How intimate your purple
seduction; your nameless
silence, your wishful hope
But you can dance! You can dance!
Your elegant foot-flagging calls
my name every time it hits the ground
In the water mirror I see my universe
My prince, I hear your twelve-verse
song and submit to you in a life-long duet.
