Words Only

to be the Present,
the burdenless now
vainglory how

the only piece of World 
that is the whole—
is a forevertinged horizon

we breathe 
a dawn
and

a dusk
and
an island, fated rust

excepting
cheer full 
collapse.

Finally had the time to go over them;

- Sometimes I am alive because with:
I really liked this one, it felt like love at first then when I kept reading I started to understand that he was speaking a bit more sensual but I wasn’t sure till I went to read about him and saw his explicit writing style. I didn’t understand these lines
“until we shall attain the Springsmelling intense large togethercoloured instant”

-I felt a funeral in my brain:
While she says brain I likened it to mind, this poem cuts deeper
Reading this poem I felt an empty and melancholic vibe with each stanza representing even a deeper plunge into mental instability. I feel like a lot of people would be able to relate to this.

- wasn’t sure the exact poem you recommended from the third link

- Marina:
Something about this poem seems very “old fashioned” and the way it was written, i could try to explain what I got from the poem but I don’t think I really understand it fully, was sensing a theme of grief(not sure).
