Where an edge should order, all is smear, blush:
same cord grass, same song;
flash of wing, longing
~~
Why are we said to fall in love, and not to be cast?
The world is without waiver; There is nowhere
else to go
~~
cast (v.) : to throw something onto the seashore
to make something (light or shadow) appear in a place
to introduce something that reduces the happiness
of somebody
to generate a sense of uncertainty
to remove or banish something from your mind decisively, and often
with difficulty to throw somebody or something somewhere, especially in a brutal way
to select the players to mold
to drop or lose something
to add or calculate something
to shed or leave something, for example, a skin
~~
Here is another translation:
We sit watching fires the dusk
beach dwellers have set—
dusk at the same shore
where we first met. I thought
I’d only be allowed beauty like this once.
Even at dusk, something about the light
cast over the ocean is blinding,
a right-warm blinding, the very same way
we’ve always made each other happy.
