La Haba Ghazal

The salaa outside is under repair
I hope to perfect rest before he comes.

Kreuntep a'ha nakorn means "pure city."
We watch the air and wonder who to blame.

"Keep watch, don't sleep tonight," he cries to me.

Be on your guard; to doze off is to die.
Boredom's reserved for him who won't notice .
