Being faithful is
difficult
It’s not so easy as betraying one
Betrayal
is nothing other than
a peck in the
dark
Infidelity is wiped off
in day light
Observe fidelity
It’s a penance performed
Upon a mountain peak
Well aware that,
with a slight stumble,
your head may shatter
in the abyss
below
Dear,
The moment I appeal to you for a pardon
You sanctify my betrayal
But
When you demand constancy from my end
I prepare myself for a journey
towards a lifetime of crucifixion
I am perpetually infidel
not since that is my nature
but since
the punishments for unfaithfulness
are not as tormenting
as those for
fidelity
Translated by R. Abilash
