Best friend ever, he with his full groove on
Loved me for being clueless and awkward:
Teenager, a person. Always bonhomme
We were quite a team and when we wandered
The desert together: what could be better
Than the trust, so easy and innocent,
Of youth. I never discerned the debtor
I was for his friendship ‘til impotent
Years and years later. Now I see clearly
He saved me in so many ways, whereas
I made my heart stone, departed. Hear me,
If there is some resonant wave after
Death claimed you, I loved you in caravans
Of tenderness, devotion, acanter.

This is really beautiful. What else could you do? You were not independent just yet! (Macoff)
ReplyDeleteyes, of course, I did what I had to do in order to continue . . . living. I turned my heart to stone. It stayed that way for a very long time. I'm sure I lack emotional resilience still because of this. Nancy called me last night too. We also talked about my utter lack of power in this instance - - all true. Still my heart is breaking when I read this sonnet.
DeleteYour poetry is stunning
