One

What is to be done 

with that  one who,

giving rise to desire,

stands 

in our way

towards it?

Shall we slaughter that one 

with the sword of hatred

or settle that one

in the temple of sorrow

and every morning,

during the hour of prayer,

toss that one pieces of that poison

which will grant that one  eternity,

but will deprive that one of 

meaning –  

until the day when

we understand 

that we are one.

Translated by Angela Rodel and Hristo Dimitrov
