Intoxicated and slender is the one above the dune;
The branches above the sand dune flutter
In the garden of youth, its breezes sway him.
Bending in the garden of youth, winds shaking them

A night would be like his locks, if its darkness
A night whose darkness, if it would crack
Were cleft by its dawn breaking forth from its pitch-black gloom.
Revealing the dawn hidden within

Suppose I tell them, “He deliberately committed
Let me say to them, intentionally killing
My murder”—then where is my blood, and where is his weapon?
My murder, where is my blood and where is his weapon
