You say that the wind has escaped its path That stars are no longer minding us The sun shines when we set, and sets when we shine That the moon is no longer scattering its smiles on our faces And that the river has forgotten its sleeping habits under our feet The trees are no longer protecting us from freezing cold of heart and hell of death And the sky is no longer blue The ravens have invaded it and ravaged by ashes The sea has provoked its whales and sharks; And it has no longer produced its fortified pearls The meadows have burned their herbs The flowers have suspended their buds on the ropes of gallows The nightingales have their throats cut and they are no longer singing You say that the day has put out its braziers and turned to be as same as night
But you, my lady, might have gone deeper into the darkness of the night I have learned the murdering of distances and invented a new alphabet for the heart You live in letter F and I live in letter Z So, we endow things with their meanings The sea regains its calm and drives out its whales and sharks And retains oysters , pearls and coral Birds are singing back by the rhythm of an eternal melody It set out in our starting and does not end in our termination
You say that Adam had not mastered the language of the heart And he had taken divining at the altar of the body And Eve did not learn how to tame the sun, Or make fun of the language of the moon She repeated her mistakes as the fools.
But you, my lady, create other nature of human beings Adam is Adam, and Eve is Eve, clay, salt, and water Before the first seduction they were not as the full moon Even if they had been as such, Adam would not have been and Eve as well They were angels?! Perhaps! But they do not deserve the full moon Because the one who deserves it, who is putting water and fire in one hand Neither water extinguishes fire nor does fire devour water But he runs water and fire whenever he wants.
