2576 - HANNA

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou

Your caresses caused me pain
I could only feel your bones
slim like the non-existent cob.
I could not endure your love,
my pain was bigger.
I closed my eyes
to die sooner
and for you to be able to live
and say what had happened.
Could you say it?
