| Marie Bortolotto 2019 
 The deep parts of my life pour outward,
 as if the river shores were opening out.
 It seems that things are more like me now,
 that I can see farther into images.
 I feel closer to what language can't reach
 with my senses, as with birds,
 I climb into the windy heaven,
 out of the oak, and in the ponds
 broken off from the sky,
 my feeling sinks, as if standing on fishes.
 
 - Rainer Maria Rilke, Poet, 1875 - 1926
