In the evening after the battle you said:
"I love you
Because
You were defeated"
When the battle was over and won you destroyed
The victor for his cruelty's sake
The stars only were faithful
To the truth of this night
Which is nothing the like
Of what you think
I'm a Yemenite bird
That settled in your heart
And claimed it
For my sweetness, o love
You pay dearly
But every day
I sing
