Once again, the eggs begin to hatch,
the two of them again in the same pond.
They were born and swam out,
then they died soon after.
Just like most babies
Of most living things in this world,
Their fate is the same, the same.
My skin melts and the flesh crumbles away;
the boundary between me and the outside
has disappeared and been released,
as I swelled high into the sky.
Swelled up larger than the stars,
filling the edges of the universe.
So cramped I couldn’t grow no more,
but still, I take a big breath in.
As I continue to swell so brightly,
the universe begins cracking at the seams.
Snap-snap, it’s been split, steadily breaking
and through the cracks, a face appears from the outside.
There, in the middle of that same pond,
once again, the eggs begin to hatch.
Dying only to be born, being born only to die,
At some point, the two of us became frogs.
You and I made love to each other,
laid our eggs while the tide was low
We turned empty and shriveled up,
blackened and hardened into dust.
We who became the soil,
swelling large and so bright
The two of us in that same pond again,
burst open and swam out.
The universe is snapping-snapping, and splitting;
infinite eggs and ponds.
The two of us, reborn again,
For all of eternity…
Ha!
Hazy, hazy, spinning away, the two of our spirits.
Sonorously, laughing away, spinning inside a whirlpool.
Roar roar Roar roar shouting away, the song of the frogs
Sufferance, jail, prison cell, reluctance; spinning in the whirlpool of love.
Hazy, hazy, spinning away, the two of our spirits.
Sonorously, laughing away, spinning inside a whirlpool.
Roar roar Roar roar shouting away, the song of the frogs
Sufferance, jail, prison cell, reluctance; spinning in the whirlpool of love.
La la la…
For all of eternity… For all of eternity…
