25971 - The erasure of the wound

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Theodoros Tsiamitas

The erasure of the wound
should not occur
upon the statue
that’s been destructed
as that very erasing
also constitutes
a form
of genocide,
for this reason
we repair it
trying to heal it
but of course
we leave behind
the stigma
in order
for the crime
to be obvious.
