From the back cover:

I was not a mischievous boy;
My mother says: the women of the neighborhood testify that you never disturbed the apples on their walls.

*

I was not a noble boy;
A beloved says: you betrayed the apples of the orchards when you refrained from picking them.

**

I was not a boy; so why did I fall from two heavens,
And the apple remained stuck in the throat of my dreams there?
