Here Are My Black Clothes

I think now it is better to love no one

than to love you. Here are my black clothes,

the tired nightgowns and robes fraying

in many places. Why should they hang useless

as though I were going naked? You liked me well enough

in black: I make you a gift of these objects.

You will want to touch them with your mouth, run

your fingers through the thin

tender underthings and I

will not need them in my new life. 

– Louise Glück (1975)
