the sea

Here we are
Stuck by this river,
You and I
Underneath a sky that's ever falling down, down, down
Ever falling down.
Through the day
As if on an ocean
Waiting here,
Always failing to remember why we came, came, came:
I wonder why we came.
You talk to me
as if from a distance
And I reply
With impressions chosen from another time, time, time,
From another time.

Time has transfigured them into
Untruth. The stone finality
They hardly meant has come to be
Their final blazon, and to prove
Our almost-instinct almost true:
What will survive of us is love.

"Seja o que te rodeia o canto de um candeeiro, a voz da tempestade, a respiração do entardecer ou o gemido do mar - atrás de ti está sempre vigilante uma vasta melodia, tecida de milhares de vozes, na qual o teu solo só tem lugar aqui e ali. Saber quando deves fazer a tua entrada, eis o segredo da tua solidão: tal como a arte do verdadeiro relacionamento é: do alto das palavras deixar-se cair na melodia una e comum."

“The only obsession everyone wants: 'love.' People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you're whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You're whole, and then you're cracked open. ”
