CAROLINE DE GÜNDERRODE
En nostalgique je vagabondais
par l’infini
C. de G.
The hand of wind’s lover
caresses the face of the absent.
The stunned woman with her “birdskin
suitcase”
flees herself with a knife in her memory.
The woman devoured by the mirror
enters in a chest of ashes
and appeases the beasts of forgetting.
for Enrique Molina
Alejandra Pizarnik
