Poetry by Yuan Hongri (Translated by Manu Mangattu) Art by Brigid Smith

Outside the Universe of Sapphire

Don’t you think the key is sweet

If it condenses into a diamond in solitude

And its song unlocks the portals to unseen gold?

You have discovered a new paradise!

Have the eyes of the juvenile once again

You have boarded the platinum ship

And the giants welcome you.

Set off! Outside the universe of sapphire

Explore the Kingdom of the Souls!!

词语如上帝

让冬去冬  直至春的金靴归来

我的灵魂  乘坐诸神的龙车

刚刚访问了七十二颗星球上的王国

那儿人人是王  词语如上帝

当他们的太阳向你绽放

你会忘了曾经的世界  忘了岁月

Sweet Interstellar Above

The Time has come to blossom and flourish

In my garden the stars will gather

Each star is a singer

From a mysterious country.

The giant from the City of Platinum

Shall bring a bunch of stone-necklace

This then is a song of the soul

On the stylish sweet interstellar above.
