What now? No point! (cemetary)
despair/saudade, no longer matters she is dead, she never knew the man, nor I the woman, looking for her now, how to clode the circle, could I catch her voice, final rival, she did not know I wrote, old age,

"Time wakens a longing more poignant than all the longings caused by the division of lovers in space, for there is no road back into its country.  Our bodies were not made for that journey; only the imagination can venture upon it; and the setting out, the road, and the arrival:  all is imagination."

Edwin Muir, An Autobiography (The Hogarth Press 1954), page 224.

Come calm my grieving heart

You died with other loves
Unseen by me
And left our love bereft

Would she weep

Would she even remember
That we loved each the other
Long, long ago?
