Sound Opens

A child
opens the sound—
and sound is seen.

Above the blue sky,
a sound unfolds.

An old man
opens his despair—
and sound is seen.

Into the dark-blue sea,
a trembling street.

One as two,
a sound that cannot meet.

From the green-blue sky,
no shame remains.

Morning and evening,
morning and evening.
