I forbade you to leave, but
                                               you
            didn't listen
                                   you flew all night
from one sky to the other
you
            didn't take me on your back
                        O dark one
you are some tall deodar tree
                                               you
            heard the angel of death crying
as night sentries hooted their signals
                                                           and
saw in a flash all the corpses
                        from the past
                                   coming back to life
rising from the depth of tomorrow
                                               you
                                   do not want
                        to be a tree
            but today
I
            want to be born
                        from your roots
