“Sabbath candles rose and fell like ships / at the entrance to the harbor. Come Sabbath bride, come bride, / wear the clothes of your mourning and your glory / the night you thought I would not come to you / and I came. The room was drenched with the smell / of black cherry preserve. Papers / scattered on the floor rustling below, / bitter wings scythed from above. / Love comes with parting, like a record— / love with the stammered despair / of the proud departure into exile from each other.”

— Yehuda Amichai, “The Travels of the Last Benjamin of Tudela” tr. Ruth Nevo

OBSESSED WITH THIS POEM BY DRI CHIU TATTERSFIELD

I think this is my favorite poem.

[darkwineseas]

Now the man called Hector.

(Struggling.) Shining Hector. Man-killing Hector. Hektoros hippodamoio. (He translates.) Hector breaker of horses—it’s always so hard to describe Hector—

His little brother calls him a “sharp ax”—a sharp edge, always cleaving forward …

Hector believes in—he believes in institutions, he believes in—in country, he believes in family, he believes in the army. Isn’t it funny how hard it is to describe a good man?

He’s a brave man, but deep down, he’d rather be taming horses.

An Iliad by Lisa Peterson and Denis O'Hare
