Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you.

here I am lost in love me land

El agua se ha cerrado.
El rocío se ha cerrado.
El cielo

I close my eyes and see
a seagull in the desert,
high, against unbearably blue sky.

There is hope in the past.

I'm writing to you
all the time, I am writing 

with both hands,
day and night.

Some say
the more you stray
the more you're saved,

I wouldn't be surprised

Long nights, short years. Forgiving
silence

When morning comes, and pain–

no one is a stranger, this whole world is your home.
you'll remember me somehow
though you don't need me now


Where have I been, can I say for certain?
Where have I been?

- Campbell McGrath
Things age and, when old
enough, no longer able to resist,
become animate. Unable to stay
free of life.

I must remove all this:
evening chill, an impression of transparency, your
presence–remove it all, without
letting anything go.

- Keith Waldrop
my silence nestles into you
- paul celan
I can still see you: an echo
- Paul Celan
