6191 - The reader actress

N. Lygeros
Translation: Paola Vagioni

To an unknown poet
so that he does not die
inside the indifference
of the society of oblivion.
Slowly the text
engraved on your flesh
took courage
to live again
inside your voice and your song
like a byzantine hymn
as resurrected christ.
With you gestures
Theodora lived among us
to explain her condition,
her love for Justinian
and the story of her passion,
it was no longer a myth
but a woman that has suffered.
