The Vagrant’s Romance
(A Reincarnation Phantasy)
This was the story never told
By one who cared not for the world’s gold.
By one who cared not for the world’s gold.
One of the idle and wise,
A beggar with unfathomable eyes.
A beggar with unfathomable eyes.

Copulating...
And after,
Across the waters,
Laying eggs...
...and moving forward
