1. You grew noble—history crucifies you openly

    on paper, whenever it becomes a secret.

  2. And in black ink it draws its sorrows as a face

    wrinkled for a lifetime in the fissures of age.

  3.  

    O face in which I read endurance,

    and in whose features I beheld oppression:

  4. this wound revealed itself in you until

    it sipped sweetness from you—and found it bitter.

  5. ،

    For the poor, in the picturing of tales,

    are houses of ink—and let ink be a shelter.

  6. ...

    War sleeps... and the slain lie sleeping,

    and the drawing remains, a memory for days to come.
