“I basked in you;
I loved you, helplessly, with a boundless tongue-tied love.
And death doesn't prevent me from loving you.
Besides,
in my opinion you aren't dead.
(I know dead people, and you are not dead.)”

—  Franz Wright

You who are all but dead,
How the gods love you
And I, alone in the dark,

Confound me with your boundless love
