جَثَمَتcrouched ضَبابُspiny-tailed lizards ضغينتيmy rancor مِنwithin صَدرهِhis breast
جَثَمَت ضَبابُ ضغينتي مِن صَدرهِ
بَينَbetween النياطِthe heartstring وَحبلهِand his cord المتأبِّطِbeneath the armpit
بَينَ النياطِ وَحبلهِ المتأبِّطِ
The lizards of my rancor crouched within his breast,
Roamed my rancor’s mist from his chest
Between his heartstring and the cord beneath his arm.
Between the palms and its twisted rope
