about

A poet escaped from war and recounts his grief and loss.

lyrics

I learn from an afternoon with you how grief accompanies us, separate from our beloved dead. Your dead are: a son, a sister, and a brother, not counting other relatives. All dead in the five years since you’ve been away. Distance, the feeling of distance, is aggravated by guilt. You didn’t tell me this. But I saw on your furrowed face a question, simple yet sempiternal. Why are the living separable from the dead? Why have I remained on this side?What about marriage? she asked you. I give you permission to marry someone else... Who else but you can describe the severity of failed romance? Love annulled by an improbable future. Only those who have faced a similar uncertainty might dare understand
