Draw inspiration for your poetry from the recesses of the ribs.
Draw your poetry from the folds of ribs
Inspire your verse from the hollows of the ribs,
And discern in the faces the beauty of the opening.
And manifest in features the beauty of horizons
And seek in every feature the beauty of the dawn,

Your sons, the lion cubs, have visited one another within you,
Your cubs, the young lions in you visit
Your sons, the cubs, have gathered within you,
And roared together in the thicket, within your hearing.
And they visit in the night from you with hearing
And roared in the thicket, loud enough for you to hear.
