1. Between wine and water, a beauty
Who fumes with anger when touched by water

2. Until you see in the rims of the cup her eyes
White, with no defect or illness

3. As if when she winks with her eyelids
She is, from her subtlety, a gazelle of the imagination

4. She builds a sky on suspended land
As if she is a pendant and the land is white

5. Its stars are bubbles in her bowl, pendants
Dimmed by the stars of the cup, desires

6. She transcended description until names
Fall short of describing her

7. When she disappeared, thoughts divided her
As opinions divided religions

8. From the palm of one with soft cheeks, sweet is his image
As if in the eye’s view, he is a virgin

9. For him I cried as the palm tree stalk cries for
An abode and ruins, a wailing weeper
