The poem You are My Drunkenness written by Nazim Hikmet is very short but also very interesting. Again it connects to the fact which we mentioned in class that for feelings we do not have a lot of expressions. The author, instead of continuing with something between the lines of "you make me feel like..." he simply stops in the first stanza.
Here is the poem:
"You are my drunkenness...
I did not sober up, as if I can do that;
I don't want to anyway.
I have a headache, my knees are full of scars
I am in mud all around
I struggle to walk towards your hesitant light."
I think that the author is talking about an experience of being drunk and seeing a potential courting candidate. When I read it I get this image of a person who is drunk, all dirty and scarred, and trying to walk around, following the girl that he liked.
