289 - Imprisoned memories

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou, Evi Charitidou

To Kostas Charalambidis

Even if they hurt your earth
at the royal graves
even if your wound got rotten,
the most secret of your legends,
those which were told
by stones and silence,
those which kissed
the memories of the dead in life
I do not forget them.
