Embracing Solitude in the Afternoon

In the poem "Leaning into the Afternoons," the speaker reflects on their longing and solitude while casting emotional nets toward a distant love. The imagery of oceanic eyes and the struggle of love against a backdrop of darkness captures the bittersweet nature of desire. With metaphors of nature, such as the sea and night birds, the poem evokes deep emotions and the yearning that accompanies unreciprocated affection. The night becomes a canvas for longing, as the speaker expresses their inner turmoil and the beauty in their pain.

  1. Leaning into the afternoons

  2. Leaning into the afternoons I cast my sad nets towards your oceanic eyes

  3. There in the highest blaze my solitude lengthens and flames, its arms turning like a drowning man’s

  4. I send out red signals across your absent eyes that move like the sea near a lighthouse

  5. You keep only darkness, my distant female, from your regard sometimes the coast of dread emerges

  6. Leaning into the afternoons I fling my sad nets to that sea that beats on your marine eyes.

  7. The birds of night peck at the first stars that flash like my soul when I love you

  8. The night gallops on its shadowy mare shedding blue tassels over the land
