Part III. Recovering
Hunting Death but only Hitting Melancholy
Shakespeare's Sonnet XLV → Transbliterated (072)
Shakespeare
The other two, slight air, and purging fire
Are both with thee, wherever I abide;
The first my thought, the other my desire,
These present-absent with swift motion slide.
For when these quicker elements are gone
In tender embassy of love to thee,
My life, being made of four, with two alone
Sinks down to death, oppress’d with melancholy;
Until life’s composition be recur’d
By those swift messengers return’d from thee,
Who even but now come back again, assur’d,
Of thy fair health, recounting it to me:
This told, I joy; but then no longer glad,
I send them back again, and straight grow sad.
Transbliteration
The other day With the air Light The sun Cleansing The two of us Where no one could fault First Overthinking Then Just desire We slid quickly to the grass Touching each other's ground Embarrassed by how licit was our love My life Its four quarters Two alone Hunting death But only hitting melancholy Is a looped film With an increasing frame rate Who has just arrived? Again? As usual? A festival of joy Which I love so much Which I cherish Leaves me empty I envy them Those who can return to a place they've been before Without sadness
