1. My rising lovers, why do you attack me
Innocent of wounding, safe from killing

2. I see in my friend a piece in his friend
And excellence of resolve in the excellence of polish

3. And greenness of life's garb in the greenness that
Showed you the redness of death in the valley of ants

4. Remove from me your comparison with what resembles
For no one is above me and no one is like me

5. And leave me and him and my glance and my fading
We will be one who encounters creation and see my actions
