Last Poem
I have so fiercely dreamed of you
And walked so far and spoken of you so,
Loved a shade of you so hard
That now I've no more left of you.
I'm left to be a shade among shades
A hundred times more shade than shade
To be shade cast time and time again into your sun-transfigured life.
Translated from the French by X. J. Kennedy.
Yes, keep going!
I feel like we've taken a wrong turn.
