It Then Quotes

“how much time like this
it holds on
how much time resting
is going to start up again --- knows it --- at the edge already
the first words are waiting --- speech being reborn --- hitch still looking for its post”
― Danielle Collobert, It Then

“agreement of body with inertia
agreement with emptiness
weightlessness of time
rest on the ground

recovered earth -- it crumbles -- it melts -- words penetrating the ground -- it dissolves -- loss of possessions -- loss of power -- like dead the buried text”
― Danielle Collobert, It Then
