Amnesia

Often songbirds forget how to sing.
This is when the Clouds' patience wears thin.
Oh my—
Can you imagine a world without song?
A life of capricious vexation?
O see me
Stand on a rock in the middle of rainbows!

Lovers sorrow at difficulty.
Easy, easy.
O how hindered the waves of the sea!
Sometimes
Generals rule over mountains of corpses.
They deafen themselves with the hooves of their horses.
You'll come by.
Eventually everything will die, oh!
