I search for you in the city

To give my offerings

Of love to your eyes

I ask about you

The passers-by misguide me

The lights of this city

Steal the road from my feet

I yearn to the light of your face

The light that was once

Illuminating the dark cities

In my heart

……

And now, exhausted I am

And sad

Between my heart and your eyes

Stand a thousand women

I follow a ray of light in the sky

I look inside myself

And see nothing but water and clay

And a pencil of smoke

Rising from a blown-out candle!
