I think the rythm of the piece works good. I think it works as a translation... I've been a book called Nine Gates. The author, Jane Hirshfield, does a lot of translating.

This one was quite personal for me, since it actually retells my life's story of sorts. The only other poem that does the same would be Eternity. I modelled this work off those of Qabbani and Khayyam, the two being my favourite authors. Glad to know you did enjoy it, despite that fact that it was a rump translation.

"The coming to presence of technology threatens revealing, threatens it with the possibility that all revealing will be consumed in ordering and that everything will present itself only in the unconcealedness of standing-reserve." — Martin Heidegger, Die Frage Nach Der Technik
