surely then by reason of days
this my lady surely this
thou hast seen
for surely thine eyes are possesed
with sight beyond sight
surely then my lady is bequeathed
with vision
even gifted with sight
from my Lord
tell me then
when thou hast surely seen
emerging from the clearing
both jackal and raven
even from the myriad foliage
both watered and filled
with sustenance from my Lord
inquire not of mine expression
for I am of the dust on the breeze
lest I be words whose heart is
snares and nets
but gaze thou in the eyes
even the dual countenance of
tomorrow as the child
swaddled in continuity and change
yea see than both bane and boon
know than thou art surely
blessed according to thine own heart
even thine own ways
