this song always reminds me of you

Contre Qui, Rose, by Rainer Maria Rilke
Contre qui, rose,
avez-vous adopte
ces epines?
Votre joie trop fine
vous a-t-elle forcee
de devenir cette chose
armee?
Â
Mais de qui vous protege
cette arme exageree?
Combien d'ennemis vous ai-je
enleves
qui ne la craignaient point?
Au contraire, d'ete en automne,
vous blessez les soins
qu'on vous donne.
___________________
Against whom, rose,
have you assumed
these thorns?
Is it your too fragile joy
that forced you
to become
this armed thing?
Â
But from whom does it protect you,
this exaggerated defense?
How many enemies have I
lifted from you
who did not fear it at all?
On the contrary, from summer to autumn
you wound the affection
that is given you.
________________
Why must I identify? Viscous colors seep through my chest as a disappearing sunset melts, painfully controlled, behind the mountains. I long to embrace it, but it’s simply not tangible enough. The music only adds tenuto to the pain.
