997 I will try to heal the hurt falcon

997  I will try to heal the hurt falcon

Will you split all the wood

We collected yesterday

Winter is at hand

And fire will have to be lit every day

When I am not around

You may need to remind the

Stove that it has a promise to keep

No matter how much snow falls outside,

It must keep you warm

I will  gather the dried  twigs

I will try to heal the hurt falcon

So that it recovers and picks all

The eggs of the mynah

That we so fondly fed

Every day outside our house

When we lived together

Now,  I am the

ash

in extinguished hearth

spread me in the garden, so that trees grow

tall, and you get enough wood

to keep you warm

in chilly night when

all memories have been pasted on the walls

of the hearth

to avoid losing the warmth
