Too late to eat sweet potatoes sprouted
They became inedible sweet potatoes
I swallowed the words I couldn't say
They became unspeakable words.
Bury the sprouted sweet potatoes in the soil
This is what the proverb says
Bury the unspeakable words in your heart
And fall into silence
This is a false analogy
Your words will not grow real leaves
Your silence will yield nothing
Stones cannot be changed by thunder or rain
Change nothing
Under such a serious topic
A sweet potato seems insignificant
Sprouting quietly in a forgotten corner
Just like announcing its new life
It has an increasingly depleted side, and it has
awakened, innocent side
