Original text and translations
English text
On a night of roses,
stars bloom overhead.
Miles ago and years away,
a furnace burst into flame.
The fox-bright black births a new point,
smaller than a thought,
a whisper of light.
The universe is breathing,
and we, heady moths, drunk on the scent,
in and out, in and out.
