We have high-humped camels; the open expanse is too narrow for them.
Their earth and sky part in a smile to reveal them.

To take them, our blood must first be shed,
Or their blood be invoked to grant refuge.

Inviolate, yet food for guests: death guards their nightfold,
Yet is a trifling matter when their slaughter is due.
