I love you–
beyond the frontiers of your flesh…
and beyond the borders of love.
Bring to me all the mirrors in this house–
the candles, the red wine- and a fervent moth.
Take me to the arch-bridge of the rainbows–
and to the tree of doves.
And there,
I perpetuate this final vow–
in the hues of your silvery wear.
I swear.

Translation: Maryam Dilmaghani
