27417 - How do you tell

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias

How do you tell
the other
that you could
be sacrificed
for him
while
he doesn’t even
believe
that you’ve
been protecting him
already
for years on
but
it doesn’t matter
as he will
become aware of it
in due
time
when he would
want you
to save him
from injustice
or even something
worse
because then,
you’ll be
the only one
who will come
to mind
for the next
steps.
