SCENT By: Jennie Redling The poem looks like it is about reminiscing what the person had in their past that they have lost overtime. From the lines \"My fingers\" to \"Frail now and filed away atop a closet\", it is like the person is yearning of what has now come thats different from their past. This person in the poem is going through something wherein their feelings and emotions from the thought of the change is being expressed, \"But this morning I lightly breathe, the scent of sadness and dread arising\" There could be plenty of deeper meanings hidden in this poem. It feels like the author wants the readers to feel and understand what the person is feeling as they think and remember the life that person had in their past and how things have changed for them, the feeling of reminiscing those old memories.

Shoko talked to her doctor with Mutsuki and talked about her health, later to also be talked about Shoko and her mother too. They also talked about the marriage and her 'mental illness'.

Their marriage was more built by their parents, the parents only thought whats best for them but Mutsuki and Shoko wanted different things.

UNDENIABLE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanni_Cagnone THINGS By: Nanni Cagnone Nanni Cagnone was born in Carcare, Liguria in 1939 and is an Italian poet, novelist, essayist and playwright. He made his debut as a poet in 1954, and since then several books from The Disabled Youth (1967) to The Oslo Lecture (2008), mainly not only poetry, but also theater, novels, theoretical essays, and aphorisms. I'm writing a book. He is the father of Benedicta Froerich and is married to Sandra Holt. About his own poetry, Cagnone writes: “Poetry is this interval between us and things, this interrupted feeling, the lost object in the home of desire. Poetry is an extraneous work, something sleep would teach awakening. It demands a passive feeling, a receptive thought and desires learnt by answering. Poetry is not the act of collecting the world like a rescuer of sense or a flatterer of language, but the aimless cult of an excessive figure and the experience of a faithfulness: that of a Saying, which doesn’t want to leave his Silent lover. Poetry is acting beyond, beyond what one manages to think”.

UNDENIABLE THINGS By: Nanni Cagnone XL In this poem, it looks like the 'father' is sitting or staying where he is as he looks at the children. \"Not understanding why children without lingering nor shelter, never did their embrace shake him.\" The line suggests that their presence did not 'shake' or bother the father, almost like the father is prepared to be left by himself without the children as they would grow and mature. LXII \"Never leave the moment alone, or it stings everything\" it sounds like a metaphor saying when you leave something or someone alone with lots of thoughts and problems, it would sting, or to leave the problem you have. \"At the end, at the end of the surging sunset, in the insecure maturing burning without a grieving scheme, the solemn episode of the leaves rustling and that's all. Rustling.\" - Moving on from the past events.
