night truths by stephen dunn
I’ve known an edginess, come evening, when I haven’t chosen to be alone, but am, the necessity of music, the implacable silence of the telephone, when my faith is faith in the provisional, wild, no consolation in it, and deeply, late at night, in the peaty, musk-scented, moon-driven dark I’ve felt so singular, so importantly sorry for myself, or so...
I just dont get enough
Brilliancy
Busco, busco un recipiente donde colocar el presente presente que traigo en la mano derecha y que el conyuge dice que llaman la muerte o el amor… o pasion, confusion o temor o una copa de vino o un ramo de flor o una carta que diga cosas de la vida bonita en prosa y acabe diciendo: Por siempre. El error de mi primer amor Y antier por la noche entre estrellas de whisky, el cansancio de ambos...

other lives and dimensions and finally a love poem...
My left hand will live longer than my right. The rivers of my palms tell me so. Never argue with rivers. Never expect your lives to finish at the same time.

Evening Star
'Twas noontide of summer, And mid-time of night; And stars, in their orbits, Shone pale, thro' the light Of the brighter, cold moon, 'Mid planets her slaves, Herself in the Heavens, Her beam on the waves. I gazed awhile On her cold smile; Too cold--too cold for me-- There pass'd, as a shroud, A fleecy cloud, And I turned away to thee, Proud Evening Star, In thy glory...
