In the clear atmosphere, a dot occurred. Passion tinged that dot vermilion red, Shaded with depression pink. How beautiful to be in the realm of nonexistence! When you dissolve, the dot dissolves. When you open up, clear space opens. Let us dissolve in the realm of passion, Which is feared by the theologians and lawmakers. Pluck, pluck, pluck, pluck the wild flower. It is not so much of orgasm, But it is a simple gesture, To realize fresh mountain air that mcludes the innocence of a wild flower.
