Love Song  by RAINER MARIA RILKE

15 February 2008
Vol. 7, No. 4

Yet everything that touches us, me and you,

takes us together like a violin's bow,

which draws one voice out of two separate strings.

The Joyous Dead  by CHARLES BAUDELAIRE

28 November 2006
Vol. 6, No. 3
rhyme

In a fat, greasy soil, that's full of snails,

I'll dig a grave deep down, where I may sleep

Spreading my bones at ease, to drowse in deep

Oblivion, as a shark within the wave.
