"

This summer which
only consisted of your
absence -

I felt you everywhere
even in the fur
of a cat that had strayed far from home
even in the draught coming from
the metro shaft

All those endearments,
embraces between us -

I’ll never be able
to make you feel them.

"

 Ludwig Steinherr, “Letter” (translated by Richard Dove)
