3044 - Against oblivion

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou, Evi Charitidou

For years now we’ve been fighting the barbarians
and still we do not dare
to face
the past.

But there, in the black garden,
they are waiting for the slightest
in order to devour
the present.

Here and later on we will steal
the pieces of the red
and we will create
the future.
