#2 - A love poem, served on the rocks
This Episode, I read Leonard Cohen's - "Waiting for Marianne". It is a short poem, written in a collection called Flowers for Hitler - one of the many artworks in the aftermath of the Holocaust and a commentary on love and loss through the times. Marianne was Leonard Cohen's long time muse and inspiration for several of his celebrated songs. This poem is a lament for an absent lover, a touching appeal from a broken heart to a glass of strong spirits (or strong spirits) for a last communication. The poem appears at the 5 minute mark in this episode if you want to skip to it. Here's a link to the poem: https://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/poem.html#waitingformarianne
