"Grief" by Robert Pinsky

你無法說沒有人會真正死去：他們當然會⋯⋯

但奇怪的是，那個人仍創造出清晰的模樣，出現在腦海中，

就如同手中的物體。不在的存在：這不是安慰，而是悲傷


You can’t say nobody ever really dies:
Of course they do...

But the odd thing is, the person still makes
A shape distinct and present in the mind
As an object in the hand. The presence
In the absence: it isn’t comfort—it’s grief.
