26545 - We remain

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Theodoros Tsiamitas

We remain
within a company
because we fear
our own emptiness
when we finally
are alone
with our loneliness
because even she doesn’t
want to hear us
and we only listen
to void verbalism
which pretends
to be dialogues
so that it may seem
that there’s
a form
of sociability
that exists
since they fear
humanism
as a disease.
