Two hearts: two blades of grass I braid together.
He is gone, who knew the music of my soul.
Autumn in the heart, as the links are broken.
Now he is gone, I break my lute.
But Spring hums everywhere: the nesting birds
Are stammering out their sympathy for me.
translated by Carolyn Kizer
How can something so sad be so lovely? I admire that way of weaving words
Some of the most beautiful writing in poetry, prose, & song are also very sad.
