You waited for the calamity of death to befall me, dragging me
You spied on me with death's suspicion, dragging me
through your prolonged stalling, from one age to the next.
Across your outstretched plain, from day to day.

And you gave me a traveler's provisions, knowing
You gave me a traveler's provisions, knowing
how little of my life your stalling had left.
How little of my life your distances left me.

And a man like one whose life your stalling has consumed
Like a man who spent his life crossing your deserts
would find, by my life, the likes of your scant bounty enough.
The little you left me of life was enough for me.
