Yves Bonnefoy, tr. by Anthony Rudolf, from The Selected Poems; “The Ravine,”

— Melissa Cox

miracle, isn’t it? that’s what you call thaumaturgy. we are not a miracle but a cataclysm. together, all we do is violence. & it feels good but that’s not enough anymore, if it ever was. what are we going to do, baby? are you / going to / save me? or just hold me down? am I / just another thing to kill? am I / anything at all?

The Trouble with Being Born, E. M. Cioran (translated by Richard Howard)
