Rainer Maria Rilke - Interior Portrait
Work rating: Low

You don`t survive in me
because of memories;
nor are you mine because
of a lovely longing`s strength.

What does make you present
is the ardent detour
that a slow tenderness
traces in my blood.

I do not need
to see you appear;
being born sufficed for me
to lose you a little less.
