Weltschmerz
April 11 prompt:Somehow incorporate a word or phrase of another language into your poem.
It is peak hour
cold evening
my carriage awaits
bee-bee-beeping
I shoulder my way in, Weltschmerz
like chain mail
I collapse beneath
its invisible heft
in a window seat
& I breathe
I wrap my head
in headphones
close my eyes
& press play
tuning in to new Weltschmerz
arranged & noted
musical
& while different
just as weighty
as mine
Weltschmerz. - German. Literally translates as “world pain,” the feeling of having the weight of the world on your shoulders.
