Wound Is The Origin Of Wonder, Maya C. Popa

[ID: Do they recognize / the desperation of our doing, / believing desire should end in evidence, / or after a life at ease with transformation, / are they so sure to be returned / to that first moment when anything / might still become of them / in fate's commanding and indifferent hand?]

text id: It happens more often than not,
That a person shoots himself in his thoughts.
Shoots the self reflected in clear water,
in the mirror,

text id:
Shoots the self reflected in someone else’s eyes,
And dies there and then.
But the second specimen endures –
He himself remains – we ourselves remain.

text id: And burying ourselves without mourning,
We reawaken to life.
First, as plants and animals,
And after many centuries,
Also, with a human life strenuous and tough.

text id: And all of this lasts
An endless moment perhaps,
Maybe an everlasting week,
Or a momentary year...

text id: My God, you surely must know
How many times I've traversed this road,
Studded with sharp pebbles and thorns,
Again and again,
Barefooted.

text id: I am tired,
so tired of
Killing myself,
And even more, of reliving…

text id: Is there a need
To try the same,
Only this time
By shooting myself
In the eyes of this girl?

text id:
Close your eyes, my beloved,
I fear with dread
That this time too, I may not perish,
But instead, tear down your eyes.

text id: Close your eyes, my beloved.

"Close your eyes", Paruyr Sevak (translated by metamorphesque)

[ID: The remembering hurt / more than the living because shame dials / in. You hearing me? I was naive enough / to think I could control a life. Even mine.]

“APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding / Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing / Memory and desire, stirring / Dull roots with spring rain.”
