And transparent as the breeze, as though it were
And a transparent cup, like the breeze, as though
a body hidden away, wrought from raindrops’ spittle;
its substance were fashioned from the rain’s spittle;

within it, its fill—the daughters of bees and date-palms—
within it, a full measure of the daughters of bees and palms—
rubies of ember in waters of gold.
rubies of embers in waters of gold.
