Pierre Michon: Trivial life

I learned that the heavens and the books can hurt us and capture our hearts in the lifetime of the holy Songs which were sent down upon the rough land and over the raging winds, to all those who had slipped away in time. I found myself far from the wild and not needing to follow the world, just seeing it as it was being created and gone, and I could marvel at the pain that can be turned into pleasure. Where space and books intersected, a motionless body was born, and it was me. The body was constantly shaken by the impossible wish to see what was read in the book, in accordance with the obituary of the world. Like space, past memories have caused dizziness, and the traces of past memories are as imperfect as words. I learned about memory. From the text.
