24554 - Inside the library

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Th. Tsiamitas

Inside the library
we saw the future
among the books
which hadn’t forgotten
their mission
for centuries now
since they
kept teaching
all humans
what the dead were saying
in order for the unborn
to continue
their work
without cowering
since substance
hadn’t been lost
and hides
inside the microcosm
of each book
which belongs
to Mankind
with the wound
of Time
as future memory.
