Àlùpàyídà: Journey of Metamorphosis

1 / 2

This poem traces a journey of constant transformation. It begins deep in the river where the speaker becomes a fish. From the fish it rises into a mist-clad mountain and then takes flight as a bird. Next it winds itself into a dusty road and burns bright as a cigarette. It laughs on as a painted clown and grows wise as a sage. Finally, in profound silence, it reveals itself as a single Word.
