יֵשׁ בְּקִרְבִּי מִן יֵצֶר דֶּמוֹנִי
לִלְפֹּת אֶת עַצְמִי בְּךָ כְּאֵזוֹב
לִהְיוֹת חַמָּנִיָּה תְּמִירָה לְמוּלְךָ
בִּשְׂדֵה חַרְצִיּוֹת זָהֹב.
מַבָּטִי לְעוֹלָם נוֹקֵב, וְשֶׁלְּךָ
תּוֹעֶה בַּמֶּרְחָב כִּמְעוֹף גַּחְלִילִית
אֵין לְךָ חֵשֶׁק לִבְלֹט, אַתָּה רַק
מֵגִיף אֶת תְּרִיסִי עַצְמְךָ בַּשְּׁתִיקָה
לֹא הָיִית מֵנִיחַ עַל בְּדַל דַּעְתְּךָ שֶׁאֲנִי
בְּךָ עֲסוּקָה;
הָיִיתִי רוֹצֶה אוֹתְךָ לְהָעִיר
מֵחֹם הַפַנְטַזְיָה הַלִּירִית שֶׁלְּךָ
לְחָרוּץ צִפָּרְנַי בָּעוֹרֵךְ הִבְהִיר
לִהְיוֹת אֱלִילַת הַשְׁרָאָה לְמוּלְךָ;
תֵּן לִהְיוֹת אישָׁת-אישוניך
תֵּן לְקַנֵּא תַּן לִלְגֹּם עַנְוָתְךָ
הָיִיתִי חוֹלֶצֶת אוֹתִי מֵחַיַּי
וְנִמְזֶגֶת לְתוֹךְ
הֱיוֹתְךָ.
יֵשׁ בְּנַפְשִׁי רָצוֹן קָטָטוֹנִי
לִרְדּוֹת בְּךָ כְּמוֹ הַשְּׁלָגִים בָּעַלְוָה
וְלוּ רַק הָיִיתִי פָּחוֹת כָּמוֹנִי
הָיִיתִי כּוֹתֶבֶת שִׁירִים כְּשֶׁלְּךָ.
