I was the white flame of your breath, your simoun breath shrivelling the world.
I borrowed your visibility and it was trough you I made my imprint on the world.
I praised my own flame in you.
Ero la fiamma bianca del tuo respiro, il tuo respiro di simun che prosciuga il mondo.
Mi hai prestato la tua evidenza e grazie a te ho lasciato la mia impronta sul mondo.
In te adoravo la mia stessa fiamma.
