I love you more than all the fires
that fence in the world,
for the fire makes
a cicrle of light for everyone,
and then no one outside learns of you.

how easily it gathers them!--
powers and people!--
and it is possible a great energy
is moving near me.
I have faith in nights.
You darkness, that I come from,
