    Pablo Neruda
    “Maybe nothingness is to be without your presence,
    without you moving, slicing the noon
    like a blue flower, without you walking
    later through the fog and the cobbles,
    without the light you carry in your hand,
    golden, which maybe others will not see,
    which maybe no one knew was growing
    like the red beginnings of a rose.
    In short, without your presence: without your coming
    suddenly, incitingly, to know my life,
    gust of a rosebush, wheat of wind:
    since then I am because you are,
    since then you are, I am, we are,
    and through love I will be, you will be, we will be.”
    Pablo Neruda

    Amal El-Mohtar
    “I want to be a body for you. I want to chase you, find you, I want to be eluded and teased and adored; I want to be defeated and victorious—I want you to cut me, sharpen me. I want to drink tea beside you in ten years or a thousand. Flowers grow far away on a planet they’ll call Cephalus, and these flowers bloom once a century, when the living star and its black-hole binary enter conjunction.I want to fix you a bouquet of them, gathered across eight hundred thousand years, so you can draw our whole engagement in a single breath, all the ages we’ve shaped together.”
