Kurt Ravidas Poet Rhyme

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).
