There Is Such Heartbreak To See

“The number 34 is the magic constant of the 4 by 4 magic square shown on the engraving “Melencolia I“ by Albrecht Dürer. Wikipedia" Oh, my room’s square melancholy! Les femmes préfèr les hommes au Lee*. My bed is empty, my ripped jeans alas, are still on me. It means you did not come. I’m thirty four. I've never been so crushed before. A dusk, a stillness, an alone shade on the wall, a sleeping phone, a melancholical etude of poet’s square solitude. (fr.) Women prefer men in Lee jeans. A pun: it sounds in French like “Women prefer men in bed” (au lit). 18.07.2019 Writing Challenge 2, July 2019- Melancholy- Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Dear Heart
