Travelling Together

If we are separated I will try to wait for you on your side of things

your side of the wall and the water and of the light moving at its own speed even on leaves that we have seen I will wait on one side

while a side is there

W.S. Merwin

È agosto.

Gli stormi cominciano a formarsi

Porterò con me il vuoto delle mie mani.

Quello che non hai lo trovi ovunque.

Quote

Penso che la poesia sia antica quanto la lingua, ed entrambe nascono dalla stessa cosa: uno sforzo per cercare di esprimere qualcosa di inesprimibile.

Rain Light

All day the stars watch from long ago my mother said I am going now when you are alone you will be all right whether or not you know you will know look at the old house in the dawn rain all the flowers are forms of water the sun reminds them through a white cloud touches the patchwork spread on the hill the washed colors of the afterlife that lived there long before you were born see how they wake without a question even though the whole world is burning

W.S. Merwin

#it's national poetry month!!!#rain light #w.s. merwin #poetry #starting off strong with the shadow of sirius #god this one is so pretty and brutal #look at the old house in the dawn rain #all the flowers are forms of water #oh william stanley we're really in it now

Separation - W. S. Merwin
