Ten pearls lined up in rows of five
Two miles of curves
The cavern which births all lives
The two moons that serve
Lost in a shallow depression
The valley curve beneath
Two small watchtowers atop two hills
Two mountain ridges reach
Two thin branches end
With two tiny women
Each one also wears a pearl
On each of their five heads
Waterfall of silk, gazing pools of hue,
Breathing monument pointing to
Seashells hearing both false and true
Sweet red leaves a lick made new
