Ease the pain, now, coursing,
Furious, raging fire
Someone whom, just by silent touch
Can say so much
There were rivers of embers
Coursing in my veins; cry now,
Divine, relentless fire
Sleep will come with the dawn
Immemorable fire, but no, not desire
For this life or another
No pangs for immortality
Ease the pain, while the planets spin
The world, upside down, slanting
Speaks to me through
Slivers, shivers, rivers
Of corporal fire; my brain
Has no more space in which to think
I am this moment, sage and mage
I am the fire, the image
And then comes the pain, again
Coursing in my veins; cry now,
Divine, relentless fire
