10277 - After years

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou

After years
we read the letters again
those received by Stepan
and we realized
that his hurt humanness
was not a trick
but a battle
between nihilism
and resistance
so that a meaning would be given
to revolution
which cannot sacrifice everything,
for innocence exists even
in the most rotten world
but, who can
see it while hiding
at the time of battle
and necessity?
By these two letters
we finally realize
the inner conflict
of the revolutionist.
