by Hélène Cixous (b. 1937)

Angel of Otherness
Language: French (Français) 
d’interdit
d’impossible
la fuyance

Comme le suicide et l’immortalité

Ils arrivaient au point
Dans une gerbe d’étincelles,
(Etrangement) – Un coq chantait
Une poule coq s’époumonait

In: Hélène Cixous, The Writing Notebooks, ed. & transl. Susan Sellers, New York : Continuum, 2004, p.110
