I closed my eyes,

Those which had seen the beginning.

A tear fell—

It was very small,

Yet its existence sufficed

So that, within the silence,

The serpent might bring forth her mystery.

​Around my waist it coiled,

With tenderness it wrapped itself;

And the secret of all the universe,

The one I had placed within it,

It whispered into my ear.
