Here is no water but only rock

Rock and no water and the sandy road

The road winding above among the mountains

Which are mountains of rock without water

If there were water we should stop and drink 335

Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think

Sweat is dry and feet are in the sand

If there were only water amongst the rock

Dead mountain mouth of carious teeth that cannot spit

Here one can neither stand nor lie nor sit 340

There is not even silence in the mountains

But dry sterile thunder without rain

There is not even solitude in the mountains

But red sullen faces sneer and snarl

From doors of mud-cracked houses

If there were water 345

And no rock

If there were rock

And also water

And water

A spring 350

A pool among the rock

If there were the sound of water only

Not the cicada

And dry grass singing

But sound of water over a rock 355

Where the hermit-thrush sings in the pine trees

Drip drop drip drop drop drop drop
