25264 - Why to love

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou

Why to love
you said inside you
since it isn’t
an investment
of success
and when it fails
it remains
a clothing
without pockets
like the shrouds
while it is always
an offer
without discounts
and you give
without waiting
absolutely nothing
because you already have
what you ‘re asking for
ever since
you heard
about Saint Augustine.
