Generate meaning
1
I stepped into an avalanche
2
It covered up my soul
3
When I am not this hunchback that you see
4
I sleep beneath the golden hill
5
You who wish to conquer pain
6
You must learn to serve me well
7
You strike my side by accident
8
As you go down to your goal
9
This cripple here that you clothe and feed
10
Is neither starved nor cold
11
He does not ask for your company
12
Not at the center, the center of the world
13
I who am on a pedestal
14
You did not raise me there
15
Your laws do not compel me now
16
To kneel grotesque and bare
17
For I myself am the pedestal
18
For this ugly hump at which you stare
19
You who wish to conquer pain
20
You must learn what makes me kind
21
The crumbs of love that you offer me
22
Are the crumbs I've left behind
23
Your pain is no credential here
24
It's just a shadow of my wound
25
I have begun to ask for you
26
I who have no greed
27
I have begun to long for you
28
I who have no need
29
You say you've gone away from me
30
But I can feel you when you breathe
31
Do not dress in those rags for me
32
I know you are not poor
33
And do not love me quite so fiercely now
34
When you know that you are not sure
35
It is your turn, my beloved one
36
It is your flesh that I wear
