My palm, through my ill fortune, remains—even if with it I touch
My hands will retain your scent if touched by them
ground perfume—like another that has touched something foul-smelling.
Like another hand shook hands scented with musk

Calamities beset my state while it is already weighed down,
Troubles overwhelm my state while cooing
like verse undergoing metrical contraction after being severely curtailed.
Like poetry after being composed and perfected
