1. Your words are free and words are slaves
Magic yet no sin therein

2. Pearls yet between your sides is their sea
A flower yet the heart is masked

3. And if you bid me farewell deceitfully
My right to bid you peace

4. Help me provision my journey easiest
Yes, and say nothing is forbidden you

5. So I left it since I found no scheme
And my heart, know, finds its food

6. You wished it provisions and in the chest a blaze
And for patience without the heart, love

7. Good fortune was a companion from your heavens
Yet has turned opposed and the bare waste, ruins

8. You adorned yourself with intimacy yet you distance
Oh beautiful beginning, would that completion follow

9. Strange that even features betray me
That even my vigilance for a friend is sleep

10. The darkness of your nearness lit for us awhile
And with your departure returned night

11. You travel to a land wherein you were suckled
And wherein from you bones gained flesh

12. And I remain tasting humiliation in an alien land
And would not have been, but for betrayal, tasting

13. I told it in the shade of security and bliss
And my years deny me even salutations
