8002 - Marbles of sky

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou, Evi Charitidou

We were looking at the marbles of the sky
and saw pieces of light
dripping from the past
to break the darkness
of a passing present
which died with society.
There was no fashion any longer
only the diachronic
had endured the time
to show to our people
where the future was
at the times of obscurantism
because the battle of the need
against luck
hadn’t stop
not even for a moment.
