13643 - Whoever takes risks, lives

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou

Whoever takes risks lives
and tries to save
the books of the past
because one knows that
continuation
is exactly these sheets
tied together
by the links
of bookbinding
whereas in reality
it is all about leaf-linking
which after intervention
managed to
become the other one
and the sacred one
taking care
of that future
in which you haven’t lived
because it overcame
the wood’s death
and it became
a leaf’s life
to say
the indispensable.
