The Curve
All the beautiful curvesof this world are dangerous
Come, let us alight
at this seductive, dangerous curve
Look!
From this curve
one feels like taking entire world
into an embrace
From this curve
one feels like plunging down
to the green
Is this curve
dangerous
just because it is beautiful?
Or beautiful
because it is dangerous?
All the beautiful
and dangerous curves of this world
return us to our homes
Come,
let us return home
Tell me, sweetheart,
which way is your home?
