An excerpt from the poem:

He said: The land that sees you with a single eye
Upon a plate of your skin, thickened with thorns,
Offer it two
And give it
The essence of speech.

I said: For an age planted in hunger,
Like an amulet,
I hung my eyes
On the neck of the land.
Neither did it slumber on its wound,
Nor could I, who
Gave it my eyes,
Manage to sleep.
