8566 - The clown and the ballerina

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Maria Stambolidou

It’s true that it was a funny couple
however, between them there was something
more than a music box
saying the same thing always.
For them, world had an end
and theater was life
from which they could not separate themselves
under the threat of dying on the spot;
so, think of them
as you think of
Harlequin and Columbine
without laughing at their situation.
