Ausencia (Poema de Borges)

A touching poem of loss and surrender, full of questions. Subtly recurrent metaphors relating to light and vision run a looping thread through the piece- the mirror, places without love that are as vain as lamps in the daytime, the burning sun.

What a wonderful poem :)
Such beautiful words... If only I’d understood them :)
I don’t know any Spanish, but the poem still captivated me !
