Adonis: Indecision (Voice 2)

Because he is of many minds
he taught us how to read the dust.

Because he is of many minds
a cloud charged with his fire
passed over our seas
brimming with the thirst of generations.

Because he is of many minds
imagination willed us
his pens, passed on to us his book.
