From the reflected blackness of the crowd’s eyes,
From the opposite of the blackness of sad eyes
a blot of darkness lies on your cheek.
On your cheek is a smudge of darkness

Rather, this face of yours passed through my heart long ago,
But your face which once passed through my heart
and carried away from it a trace of black bile.
Took with it a trace of blackness
