Light has been a beggar since the eye first rolled 245

And moved to and fro in search of beauty;

But forasmuch as the grass found a means of growth in its self,

Its aspiration clove the breast of the garden.

The candle too concatenated itself

And built itself out of atoms; 250

Then it made a practice of melting itself away and fled from its self

Until at last it trickled down from its own eye, like tears.

If the bezel had been more self-secure by nature,

It would not have suffered wounds,
