There is a sacred line in human closeness, No love nor passion dares to cross its side. You knew you came to me each night in dreaming — That’s why you could not sleep beside. The smell of household soap — a fading sign, I know exactly where my horcrux stayed. No Shazam was made for moments left behind — They were all bound to be mislaid.

IV After A. Akhmatova
There is a sacred line in human closeness, No love nor passion dares to cross its side. You knew you came to me each night in dreaming — That’s why you could not sleep beside. The smell of household soap — a fading sign, I know exactly where my horcrux stayed. No Shazam was made for moments left behind — They were all bound to be mislaid.
