8146 - The cool heart

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

Have you ever thought
about the cool heart
that would be our daughter,
who would play secretly
with the pebbles of memory
across the ocean
in order to touch the sun
on the edge of the sky
and to see herself
the truth of Elytis
just before sunset?
This is what I thought now
and I said to write it
not to forget
your beauty
inside winter.
