The following section of the poem is included on the front lower side of the painting: The land begins from the pain tissue - I am like this  I walk over the spear's head - It is like me  And I walk in the flames of the wheat  Where does it's grounds begin  From its occupied body  This is my new fire The route of dreams Have they returned to Haifa, is it not gone? I shall walk with my flowing blood over the sea, over the sea, over the sea
