Al-Saddiq Al-Raddi : Small Fox

Suddenly - a small fox, playful,

floods your wounded heart with joy

He searches your face with his singular gaze,

knows you're at one with his vagabond stance



That very night I longed for you,

I missed your exquisite arousal,

I yearned for the moon that knew our names

That shattered glass forgotten,

the skittish squirrel gone -

leaving us everything: night, and wine



And as for me - I am drunk with thirst,

I am shaking with desire for you -

but here there's not a fox to be found
