Darkness and a passing wind purify me.
I shiver, and so does the great room where the one I want is lying.
Night squeezes down, jungle trees freeze like columns of stone.
At Karet, at Karet (where I go next), the cold wind moans too.
I'm tidying my room, and my heart, in case you come
And I can set free a new story for you.
But now it's only my hands that move fiercely.
My body is still, alone. The story, whatever can happen: all stiff, icy.
