The Necessity Of Sadness

🔰 This poem is the work of Mikael de Lara Co (Original Title "On the Necessity of Sadness), a poet that I had the luck to stumble upon on the Internet a few months ago. I urge you to check more of his poetry work. I don't want to spoil the experience by polluting it with my opinion but a theme in his poetry that intrigued me is the way he breaks the fourth wall and acknowledges the readers of the poem.

In this video, you can see my friends and in fact, some of the shots were shot by them while playing with my camera. In other words, It wouldn't be possible to make this without them.

Forever Humbled,

🔰"On the Necessity of Sadness"
by Mikael de Lara Co

Let me tell you about longing.
Let me presume that I have something new to say about it
that this room, naked, its walls pining for clocks,
has something new to say about absence.
Somewhere the crunch of an apple,
fading sunflowers on a quilt,
a window looking out to a landscape with a single tree.
And you sitting under it.
Let go, said you to me in a dream,
but by the time the wind carried your voice to me,
I was already walking through the yawning door,
towards the small, necessary sadnesses of waking.
I wish I could hold you now,
but that is a line that has no place in a poem,
like the swollen sheen of the moon tonight,
or the word absence,
or you,
or longing.
Let me tell you about longing.
In a distant country, two lovers are on a bench,
and pigeons, unafraid, are perching beside them.
She places a hand on his knee
and says, say to me the truest thing you can.
I am closing my eyes now.
You are far away.
