Twilight

I stand
Here
On this side,
Firmly
Mired in the mud of centuries of my bondage
Without a barrier
On this side,
There is no path, no pioneer, no gift.

O Lord of all sides!
O Lord of all sides, You!
O Lord of all existing sides!
O Dwelling Place of our eyes!

Here,
In this upward explosion of sea
This bold dark color
Like the tea of Iraq
The boundary here
As far as the boundary
Of the Nile,
The hardest liquid is formed and
In the way of light has collapsed.

Collapsed
In the eyes of the inhabitants confined in walls.
And God is just to
A thin line of existence,
And breathes out a miracle,
To the speed of compliance,
He’ll take your hand, your Protection

Here,
In this neutral linear twilight
Between midnight and morning
I stand
The surveyor of "Inertia", all of us
Listening to the complaining of my feet...
My breath stops more
Of what is quiet.
It will be a smile
That extends over the skies ...
