22688 - Shadow VI

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi

Light without music…The color is reddish…

Dominique

Do you remember?

Lucy

What?

Dominique

This color. She shows it with her hands.

Lucy

When?

Dominique

Then!

Lucy

No I was too little…

Dominique

Right. Time. It doesn’t matter…

Lucy

Why do you ask?

Dominique

Because it reminds me of the same…

Lucy

With the rhinoceros…

Dominique

And the shadows…We had no poems either…

Lucy

Neither prizes…

Dominique

We simply didn’t know…

Lucy

That’s why our clothes had the same color.

Dominique

I didn’t know that there were other colors.

Lucy

Me neither.

Dominique

But now that we know them.

Lucy

The black came.

Dominique

We must do something!

Lucy

Why?

Dominique

Don’t you see what is happening?

Lucy

I’m already seeing, I’m asking…Silence.

Dominique

I don’t know…You are right…It’s just that…

Lucy

You don’t want to die…Because we love life.
