10773 - Sun of night

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Aristeidis Thomas

You had never seen before
sun of night
and you were startled
from its light
cause you didn’t think
it was like the stars
only it
chose to come
so close to you
that you touched it
with your lips
even the fire
that was stolen by
Prometheus
in order for Humanity
to live
Free
and now
that you felt
his passion
you search for
the truth
inside emptiness
without seeing
the vacuity
which is not going
to let go of you
because she is
your memory.
