the coil coils back on itself
and comes a circle, never a coilfor an eternity of labour
for an eternity of toil...
Sleeping Beauty
for again now, in great recall
must i read you the poem as i fall?
in abundant hope you will come to be
whence i shall tell the all?
a simple word occurs in all the worlds
so why must you not wake in the sweetest first call?
for whence it shall thunder
it shall cry tears of blood and fall
for whence the wells brim and flood
shall ye have known the all
whence shall ye have come to be
so whence shall ye recall?
must you sit for eternity
high up the castle wall?
whence shall ye awake, Sleeping Beauty?
whence shall ye come down the hall?
come to be, and rest awhile
come by the shed of the waterfall
come to be, and rest awhile
for ye shall not live to listen the all
for whence it shall thunder
it shall cry tears of blood and fall
for whence ye shall not be
shall ye have known the all
so whence shall ye have come to be
so whence shall ye recall?...
whence the coil wills it can recoil
whence it wills it can recall

kahoon kis se main ki kya hai shab-e-gham buri bala hai
mujhe kya bura tha marna gar ek baar hota
whom must i narrate these pangs of sorrow's evening
would i have still resented this death had it come just once?
