failed poets and poet-murderers

The Poet

You're withdrawing from me, you hour. The beating of your wings leaves me bruised. Alone: what shall I do with my mouth? with my night? with my day?

I have no loved one, no house, no place to lead a life. All the things to which I give myself grow rich and spend me.

-R.M. Rilke
