           A selection of poems in the djinn's favored style, the short form. Do these carry insights into the minds of the djinn?
          
           Never sing again
           
           Songs bring pain, death and bondage
           
           Silence is precious
          
           I found a garden
           
           Full of dust, ashes and weeds
           
           It is my home now
          
           Though the Plane is gone
           
           Chains still bind those who fled it
           
           Linked to its torment
          
           Come, sit beside me
           
           Fear nothing but night's shadow
           
           You are my anchor
          
           Spare me your anger
           
           Too long have we gone on thus
           
           Now it is too late
          
           In the long ago
           
           I lived in another Plane
           
           I grieve for its loss
          
           Bring me to water
           
           Where I can drink my fill, then
           
           I will be refreshed
          
           In his tiny mind
           
           He rules Maj'Dul, a city
           
           Of nothing but thieves
          
           Far above the world
           
           The Citadel soars freely
           
           Dangling its chains
          
           Why are you crying?
           
           There is pleasure without pain.
           
           Are those tears of joy?
          
           Can you speak with me
           
           And use only words of truth?
