1. Like fire filling the space
with its abundant light

2. flowing from a moderate palm
upon the beloved when decreed

3. with glimpses of violence
like an unsheathed sword,

4. glowing embers aflame
upon my cheeks and ribs.

5. I expose myself to reproaches
whether facing or ignoring them

6. yearning for the age of connection
and an era of pleasures past.

7. Oh how I wish I had passed
in regret for what has passed!
