god, in a satiny packet, sells life, each of ours, lovingly, the twists and turns, unsurety looms, still, the packet, we buy!

A Ryūka (琉歌) is a form of a poem, slightly different from a Haiku. It originates from Okinawa, and often follows a pattern of 8–8–8–6 syllables.

Fukubukuro is a Japanese new year custom in which the merchants make bags filled with random contents and sell them to the customers.

In this poem, God is a trader who sells life, neatly packed with love, and we, knowing the risk of how the life inside would turn out to be, go on and still buy it.
