Every night, I braid<\/span><\/p>\n

your sweet hair of water<\/span><\/p>\n

which is like a torrent\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

that flows between my hands\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

every evening<\/span><\/p>\n

entangles its rays\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

among your sweet hair of water.<\/span><\/p>\n

And even the almighty wind\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

every morning<\/span><\/p>\n
