Elegy*
....but my heart
can hold only this much
it has no more space
and must stay as such
its well is empty
how to fill up I scarcely know
love is such misery
with its sharpest needle of throe
even in this cool smiling spring
every leaf of hope I've shed
my being is winter-frozen
all my feelings are dead
and the past like a sad echo
revisits me and will not let go
in the dark there's no path to follow
slowly I will disappear like a shadow
* after Emily Dickinson, Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, Christina Rossetti, the Bronte sisters, John Clare, Keats and Shelley's.
