Near my home there is a mirror-city

I have not seen him even for a day

Near my home there is a mirror-city

and my neighbour dwells in it.

All around the village is fathomless water,

the water is boundless,

and there is no boat to take me across.

I yearn to see him,

how shall i get to that hamlet?

what shall i say about this neighbour of mine?

He has no hand, no feet, no shoulders, no head.

One moment he is above the void

the next moment He is afloat in the water.

If my neighbour would but touch me,

all the pains of death would go away.

He and Lalon are here indeed,

but we remain countless miles apart.
