[Transcreation] Divinity, Relativity

From firm heights
to plunge into depths
waits a rock, with bated breath,
at the edge of a cliff

Impatient
to reach out from below,
readies a ripe vine

Mayhap to save itself
from the flood waters,
to a blade of grass
clings a beetle

Inert, motionless

Perhaps, dead
