4153 - Tato who didn’t talk

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou

Tato, for so many years I couldn’t understand
why you didn’t talk about that time.
I didn’t know what horror is,
I had not lived death.
Mother didn’t born me dead
as other children of our nation were.
But now that you died
and you are finally free,
I realized why you didn’t talk.
There was no one to hear you.
