5063 - The hungry faces

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Maria Stambolidou

Vincent was not only
the painter of peasants.
“As I walk in wooden shoes
I will easily reach the aim.”
In the Netherlands, he was already thinking
like Angelus of Millet.
He used to sleep on straws
and eat black bread.
Vincent was unhappy like the stones
but he was not stumbling anymore.
He was of course the man of the local
but the one of time.
