Ilya Kaminsky, ‘Such is the Story Made of Stubbornness and a Little Air’, Deaf Republic (transcript below)[Text ID: “Let us wash our faces in the wind and forget the strict shapes of affection.Let the pregnant woman hold something of clay in her hand.She believes in god, yes, but also in the mothersof her country who take off their shoesand walk. Their footsteps erase our syntax.Let her man kneel on the roof, clearing his throat(for the secret of patience is his wife’s patience).He who loves roofs, tonight and tonight, making love to her and to her forgetting,let them borrow the light from the blind.There will be evidence, there will be evidence.While helicopters bomb the streets, whatever they will open, will open.What is silence? Something of the sky in us.”] -- source link
