BE READY

One comes from the desert vastness

where the day was burning

and the night was freezing,

where cold stars and their silence spoke,

where wind and the dust it carried spoke,

and everything was lucid and clear,

golden as the disk of the Sun,

black as the night when the embers

of the fire were but faint stars themselves.

One comes from the desert.

Be ready with the nails and the timber,

be ready to raise them to the burning Sun

and the icy stars of the black night.

For the truths of the desert

have no place among the people.
