I got the picture from definitelynot.si3nna on TikTok. They make some TikToks about forgotten English words and I thought this one in particular was important to share due to what America is at the moment.

Left Unread

For every Helmet for my Pillow–

How many memoirs go unpublished?

Their poems left unrecited.

The words long written down

never to be bound by our cultural consciousness;

left to rot–       in their pockets,

slowly washed away with crimson blood

or blown to shreds from falling rockets.

Their silent echoes hushed by the battlefield;

the shadows of their memories

never illuminated nor revealed.

The writings of the dead;

their remains forever left unread.

Dirt

Et c'est alors que pour la première fois depuis des années, voire des décennies, l'espace confiné de l'avion qu'elle avait pris lui sembla familier et rassurant. C'était un vieux souvenir, une page de son passé qui ne cessait de la rattraper, comme les monstres sous le lit tendant leurs bras exsangues vers les chevilles des enfants qui ne rêvent plus. Seulement cette fois, les doigts n'étaient plus ignobles, la griffe du souvenir l'avait saisie, enfin, et il y avait presque en cela quelque chose de rassurant. Depuis longtemps, elle pouvait enfin se voir pour ce qu'elle était et cela apparaissait comme une reconnaissance tardive et douloureuse, ainsi qu'un vieil ami dont le temps et les aléas de l'existence nous ont éloignés.                                                                                                L.

Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time you loved me

Once upon a time you were the one who found me

Once upon a time you were the person who held my heart

Once upon a time you were the person who held my heart so tight

Once upon a time you were the person who held my heart so tight that it broke
