44456 - Blue desert

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias

Blue life
you’ve also chosen
in the white desert
but always secretive.

As you didn’t know
about our summer
and you never spoke
of our star.

There in the epoch
that you’ve changed your life,
you were born at sunrise
like another Sunday.

Because you didn’t shed tears
about the ocean
since you didn’t steal
the other sunset.
