Or only when the sunsets fade
Be mourned serenely in my thought?
All is for you: the daily prayer,
The sleepless heat at night,
And of my verses, the white
Flock, and of my eyes, the blue fire.
No-one was more cherished, no-one tortured
Me more, not
Even the one who betrayed me to torture,
Not even the one who caressed me and forgot.

Do you hear the soft rustle
Don’t bother to writefor I’ll come to you.Is it possible you are angrywith me like the last time?You say that you don’t want to see my hands,my hands or my eyes.I am with you in your bright, simple room.Don’t chase me awayto where the cold, murky waterflows under the bridge.
