Constantine P. Cavafy, tr. by Kimon Friar, from Modern Greek Poetry; “The Bandaged Shoulder,”

elinor   doesn’t   really   have   everything   figured   out.      they’re   figuring   it   out   as   they   go.     elle   isn’t   even   wholly   sold   on   their   end   goal,   and   sometimes   even   that   tends   to   change.      what   they   know   for   certain   is    that   what   has   and   is   still   being   done   to   them   isn’t   right;   they   think   maybe   they   don’t   even   deserve   any   better   a   life   than   the   one   they’re   living,   but   they’ll   continue   to   fight   for   one   any   way   ―   because   it’s   a   hope   for   something   better   that   keeps   them   going.
