17583 - Τhe Aquilifers

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

It all started on the OXI day.
Then the tradition became an innovation.
One thought alone caused the transformation.
A key thought that created a branch th;ere, where no one expected it.
So that’s where the red tale ended .
Because, the blue started to erase the green, as the endless could defeat barbarism.
The task force saw the actions that had never been carried out before, after all these years
What was the point of tradition, if it had become a habit and just followed the typical without opting for the substance.
The celebration is important after the liberation.
Because when there are occupied territories, all of them should have been wondering what exactly they were celebrating.
So the mental scheme of the resistance finally took shape.
And the Hawks decided to fly with the eagle beyond the permissible limits, in order to unfold the flag, the blue and white one, and raise it against the beasts of barbarism.
Without phobias.
Decisively.
So they flew out to Famagusta.
In honor of the fighters of 1570-1571 that held out until the end, when everyone else had already fallen.
The hawks landed in the old city within the walls, in order to touch the policyclicity of the space that was time.
Aghios Georgios of the Greeks, carried on him the stigmata of siege, and even though it had no longer a dome and or a roof, it withstood.
As if the blue of sky was supplementing him over the centuries.
That’s how they felt, but they said nothing.
They searched out the space first.
In order to find the signs of Time.
And on the walls they found the sacred colours .
Then they decided to perform a mass at the church, with the only prayer that Christ had taught them .
They were not only fishermen even though they were people.
So after all these years of occupation the Our Father prayer was heard again and their gazes shone with emotion.
Without a cry though, because the mission had just begun.
And in front of the sanctuary they opened the wings of the blue and white.
They were converted into human flagpoles, in order to raise it.
They held it with tooth and nail, so no beast could wound it.
Because it was their skin.
And had not forgotten anything from the torment of the hero of Famagusta .
They stood in stillness in order to travel through Time and merge with the fighters of the other era.
It was the preparation for the Aquilifers.
