To love is to feel your death 
given to you like a sentence,
to meet the judge's eyes
as if there were a judge,
as if he had eyes,
and love.
Christian Wiman, from "Gone for the Day, She Is the Day"
in Every Riven Thing: Poems

I had not seen their names written.
Not read their names
and in your quiet remembering
my heart aches.
Thank you.

One of the most tender things at the Holocaust Memorial is the names of the children being said 24 hours a day, every day. It is dark, but there are candles. And mirrors. Light x infinity. Thank you.
