" Alicante
An orange on the table
Your dress on the rug
And you in my bed
Sweet present of the present
Cool of night
Warmth of my life.
Jacques Prévert
(translated from the French by Lawrence Ferlinghetti)" — Jan 11, 2025 02:55AM

“Night, street and streetlight, drugstore,
The purposeless, half-dim, drab light.
For all the use live on a quarter century –
Nothing will change. There’s no way out.
–
You’ll die – and start all over, live twice,
Everything repeats itself, just as it was:
Night, the canal’s rippled icy surface,
The drugstore, the street, and streetlight.”

“I hide your portrait
in a closet with no holes
your dress
in the dresser
I place the mirror on the bracket
upside down
remains of your hair
are dancing on the windowsill
in direction of the wind
in my room
there is always
a vacant chair”
