31391 - The two stones

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi

The two young women back to back seated.

Lucy: You got me up…so that we sit…
Olga: But not at the same point…
Lucy: Yes, I can’t argue…
Olga: Aren’t we nice here?
Lucy: Above the little lake…
Olga: Why, had you ever seen two stones over a lake before?
Lucy: Neither a bridge of two stones…
Olga: And what if people come…
Lucy: They will think that we are begging…
Olga: But we won’t put out our arm…
Lucy: Even if we are showing the lake…
Olga: They will think that we are looking at the coins.
Lucy: In any case they will wrong us…
Olga: It doesn’t change anything.
Lucy: Let us change.
Lucy: He is also poor…
Olga: You are right…And he changed everything.
Lucy: And you are dedicated to…
Olga: Devoted to…
Lucy: Yes.
Olga: And you to the light…
Lucy: In the depth of the lake, the light of deepness.
