Legion. An amalgamated journal.

He Swears

Every so often he swears to start a finer life.
But when night comes with its own counsels,
its compromises, and its promises;
but when night comes with its own vigor
of the body, craving and seeking, he returns,
forlorn, to the same fatal joy.

-C.P. Cavafy (trans. from the Greek by R. Dalven)

Hello, Legion. I’ve returned.
