 Who Hangs the Candles

Depart...  
lamps in a niche were set out  
burdened with mist and ashes in the heart.  
A moon was stabbed in the back;  
its elegy was inscribed on a wall of nightmare.  
The candles, besieged by the nightmare,  
appeared as they were shining.  
The nightmare hung them with a cord of lies, from fibers of a palm-tree.  
Arise, arise!  
Beast of darkness and phantoms of bats' death  
are sneaking, searching for dreams to slaughter,  
blood splattered in darkness. An ice hot burning... sighs... dwelling in the soul.....  
O devils that dwell in passages of the abyss,
stop!  
My last candle is in the darkness  
dimming,  
wrestling death and wind.
