“And it’s always the lilac garden on the other side of the river. If the soul should ask you if that is far from here, you should say, On the other side of the river, not this one, but the one over there. — Alejandra Pizarnik, “Rescue,” Extracting the Stone of Madness: Poems (New Directions May 17, 2016) First published January 1, 1968.”

“Lost Month”

The light of the eyes in the house of the crow. Here the gods'
voices break and some will never sing again, but some come closer
and whisper. Never their names.

There are no hinges. One side of a door is simply forgotten in
the other.

In the windows the permissions appear, already lit, unasked, but
the wind is the wind of parsimony, and the shadows, which are
numerous and large, strain at their slender leashes. One fine day the
first knives come through the mirrors, like fins of sharks. The images
heal, but imperfectly.

We discover parts of ourselves which came to exist under this
influential sign.

W.S. Merwin, The Moving Target (Macmillan Pub Co January 1, 1986)”

“The Wild One Forever"

Well, the moon sank as the wind blew
And the street lights slowly died
Yeah they call you the wild one
Said stay away from her
Said she couldn't love no one if she tried

But then something I saw in your eyes
Told me right away
That you were gonna have to be mine
One of the strangest feeling came over me down inside
No matter what it takes
I'll never get over how good it felt
When you finally held me
I will never regret, baby
Those few hours linger on in my head forever

Well it's too bad but I want you
To know I understand
Yeah it's been a long time
But I don't mind, yeah it's all right
I understand

Because something I saw in your eyes
Told me right away
That you were gon' have to be mine
And the strangest feeling came over me down inside
I knew right away
I'd never get over how good it felt
When you finally kissed me
I will never regret, baby
Baby, those few hours linger on in my head forever
And ever
