Loved a woman once
But was abandoned by her, by poverty and wandering
At first, I still had hatred, like a coconut tree by the sea
From time to time, I plucked a head
and smashed it into the sea. Later, I was relieved, because in the afternoon when I was collecting shells on the beach
I suddenly noticed
In the shells as small as fingernails
there were still hermit crabs poking out their tentacles. This small
The poor man, who could not be smaller, was riding the sea
from the waves, and reached the end of the world before me
