That's an eagle! On the edge of the cliff
Over the temple at the top of the mountain
Still, like a black dot, motionless
But it did hover
Only it was moving incredibly slowly
imperceptible to the naked eye, except for an old man anemone
trembling in the wind. That unreachable height
The eagle's eyes are like electronic police
Scanning the tumbling sea and the mountains
No fish leaping out of the water, no rabbit in the mountain, escapes the surveillance
Those sharp claws are like iron anchors that grip the sky with a firm grip
When it loosens its grip when it swoops down
This mountain, this island, will also collapse, rumbling into the strait
