26541 - A life of explanations

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Theodoros Tsiamitas

To Imre Kertész

While life
remains
inexplicable
we are all
living a life
with explanations
even though we know
that this
cannot be,
yet we pretend
that it’s all about
an attempt
made with dignity
without confessing
that we know
that we don’t know
absolutely anything at all
in order to explain
even this
that we’re experiencing.
