\u00abThe Garden\u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n

There was no water\u2014<\/p>\n

yet the grape still thirsted to ripen,<\/p>\n

while the hand of fate<\/p>\n

leaned toward picking it.<\/p>\n

The gardener was lost<\/p>\n

in another realm,<\/p>\n

yet the grape of our garden<\/p>\n

was drunk with longing,<\/p>\n

eager to rise and fly.<\/p>\n

My love-worn, wounded heart<\/p>\n

arrived from afar,<\/p>\n

offering its greeting<\/p>\n

to the gardener,<\/p>\n

the garden,<\/p>\n

and the grape.<\/p>\n

What a strange state\u2014<\/p>\n

my heart held, all at once,<\/p>\n

its weariness<\/p>\n

and its yearning for life,<\/p>\n

its longing<\/p>\n

and its quiet regret.<\/p>\n
