into the cage and out again?
Could I but seize it,
I would put the fetters of my heart
around its feet.
The cage has eight rooms and nine closed doors;
From time to time fire flares out;
Above there is the main room,
the mirror-chamber.
O my heart, you are set on the affairs
of the cage;
(Yet) the cage was made by you,
made with green bamboo;
The cage may fall apart any day.
Lalon says, The Bird may work its way out
and fly off somewhere.
