Kihō no Monogatari

No, he is not under the trees.
Hurricane is cooking a fish on the shore.
The 11th of Hawk and 7 days bring the 7th of Wind.

Perhaps Hurricane is there,
swimming after the east-bound island.
5 more days bring the 1st of Wind.

Perhaps he waits below,
watching for ships in a watery place.
Ten days bring the 11th of Threshold.

Perhaps he is there,
on a sandbar, ready to leap.
7 more days bring the 7th of Hawk.

Perhaps Hurricane is there,
guiding the island with a painted flute.
5 more days bring the 1st of Hawk.

Perhaps Hurricane is there,
a lord planting corn in the depths.
Ten days bring the 11th of Current.

Perhaps Hurricane rests,
nesting with a tern by a cove.
7 more days bring the 7th of Threshold.

Perhaps Hurricane is there,
standing edge-guard with quick darts.
5 more days bring the 1st of Threshold.

Hurricane is there,
suddenly making things green.
Ten days bring the 11th of Wind.

Perhaps Hurricane is there,
putting out a driftwood-built fire.
7 more days bring the 7th of Current.

Perhaps Hurricane is there,
building a tower from red stone.
5 more days bring the 1st of Current.

Perhaps he is reaching down,
finding fish in the white foam.
Ten days bring the 11th of Hawk.
