15188 - First lights

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

It’s lights first
that you recognize
in the night
and you realize
how precious
they are in substance
while most
do not attach
any importance to them
because at that time
they are sleeping
and they don’t see
that it’s with these
that the history
of our people
and our land
has been written
for centuries now.
