1. I have become, at the dawn of a long night,
A flame, a blaze, intense and bright,

2. Decorated, emitting smoke, forceful,
Asking the land about livelihood,

3. Picking up scattered fodder plants,
Like you pick up white hair with tweezers.

4. Leader of every bird and walking beast
Of barking dogs flying like moths

5. Yearning for the hunting falcon’s signals
Protected from the buzzing insects.
