Your love
Should never be offered to the mouth of a stranger,

Only to someone who has the valor and daring
To cut pieces of their soul off with a knife

Then weave them into a blanket
To protect you.

Hafiz (or Hafez) a Persian poet: 1325 – 1390.

I find the vivid imagery in his poem, in a sense, circular.

Which explains my use of repeated images.

While addressing his echo across the centuries.
