“My heart born naked Was swaddled in lullabies. Later alone it wore Poems for cloth
“My heart born naked Was swaddled in lullabies. Later alone it wore Poems for clothes. Like a shirt I carried on my back The poetry I had read.So I lived for half a century Until wordlessly we met. From my shirt on the back of the chair I learn tonight How many years Of learning by heart I waited for you.”- John Berger. And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos, 1992.Art: Amedeo Modigliani. Seated Nude, 1916. -- source link
