39004 - Don’t be long

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias

Don’t be long
be
there yourself
at the march
of Thessaloniki
because it’s there
that we will write
the continuation
of History
against the oblivion
of barbarism
which strives
to tear apart
each flagstaff
of the Nation
due
to the
nihilism
of the national
identity.
