19736 - Mnemosyne

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi

Mnemosyne
is not
commemoration
and does not concern
only the past
because it remembers it
but it doesn’t forget
the future
and continues
to generate
work
if you search
for post cards
and souvenirs
don’t come
to delay
our struggle
we don’t want it
and we never
wanted it
because what matters
is only
the result
that we bring
to humans.
