2024-25 Pushcart heartbreak nominee.
You know: I have to give you up again
And I can't.
I am after the lost sign, the single
pledge you graced me with.
And hell is certain

The language of longing isn't in writing. It's a braille made of absent touching and skin

Watching Iranian poet Forough Farrokhzad's 1963 film she directed about a colony of lepers in Azerbaijan.
This is how you perform your crush on a poet, reader.

Death of a Lady's Man
Leonard Cohen
She beckoned to the sentry
of his high religious mood.
She said, "I'll make a space between my legs,
I'll teach you solitude."

Translators have brought most of Rilke into English but have largely ignored his 1912 sequence 'The Life of Mary'. (Stephen Spender published a translation in 1951.).
Here's one of my favorite poems from the collection, with a little of its backstory.

That time of the night I remind you how good and how sacred is Rainer Maria Rilke's poem You Who Never Arrived.
I have given up trying
to recognize you in the surging wave of the next
moment...
you, who forever elude me.

A cry pierces the night in the obverse of things
crawling down the tinctures, smudging of abyss, dying black
the lights of the streets
the carefree windows of condos
smiles of clarified teeth
nero di seppia
our plaster happiness
Blessed be the blind
who see
even
in the darkness.
