It's always a shortage of the magical events --
This world is too much trivial, let's admit it.
As the scripture says, he who has his eyes
Will be able to hear what is most important.
An understanding that not the magical events
But triviality makes the ground of transmitting
The essential things of life, is not a trivial.
There are only changes that make our lives
Be unchangeable, no matter where we are,
On top or at the bottom. And I am ready
To inject them all straight into my arteries
And veins, setting the catch-luck networks
On their tracks and passages.
Let images stir, settling down in my poetry;
Let the primitive needs of life be met in full.
It's always a shortage of the magical events
That artfully conceal the secrets of existence
Under the cloth of silence while various grasses
Continue to grow up along the solid ground.
Magical, as in magical events, is a word with a multiplicity of meaning, especially for writers. I find it a lure-word, a word that sequestered a poet reader back into that place where his or her own magical lexicon exists. You are entitled to whatever "lift" your magical convictions dictate.
Being a realist and a pragmatist, I failed to see any "magical" events. Perhaps because I haven't eagerly sought stimulants that I could "inject in my veins" to give me a rush of magical experience that so many people seem to seek, and their otherwise, boring lives.
Instead I welcome change and accept the wonders of science and technology without losing sight of the practical and mundane. There are no magic cures for what ails us. Your poem seems to disagree.
