In English
- Thunder breaks and shakes the darkened sky
- a fair lady alone has closed her gate
- documents become tangled together
- and trouble comes even when nothing is done
- Meaning
- The poem ends with trouble arriving even when nothing has been done. After thunder darkens the sky and papers get tangled, Misfortune here points to keeping still and letting the noise pass rather than forcing anything.
- What to do today
- Pull out one form that needs sending or answering and check it for gaps.
- A word from the capybara
- While the thunder rumbles, sinking all the way under the water feels safest.
