Untitled from “Hearts, Books of Love” By Hélène Dorion

Translated from the French

You wake amid bursts of darkness

you come back from the vast sleep that holds you tighter than my arms, each evening I bare myself and abandon you to the night’s tall grasses. The hours that create us separate us, and I give you up until dawn comes to dissolve absence.

“I think I’m drawn to the grotesque. If we’re talking about non-conventional human forms, like limbs bent in unnatural directions or melting skin, I find those things beautiful, even cool. A kind of raw, imperfect beauty.”

When Eurydice Saw Him

by Gregory Orr

When Eurydice saw him huddled in a thick cloak, she should have known he was alive, the way he shivered beneath its useless folds.

But what she saw was the usual: a stranger confused in a new world. And when she touched him on the shoulder, it was nothing personal, a kindness he misunderstood. To guide someone through the halls of hell is not the same as love.
