31394 - Two petals on the lake

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi

The two women are now laid on the lake

Olga: And now what do we do?
Lucy: We are looking at the sky!
Olga: What do you see?
Lucy: The infinite blue!
Olga: The only wealth for the poor ones.
Lucy: It is something else.
Olga: What other else?
Lucy: I ‘m starting to see why we are here.
Olga: In the garden? Go on, say!
Lucy: And I know why we are poor!
Olga: I thought I knew too.
Lucy: It has to do with the extension.
Olga: With us.
Lucy: We returned…
Olga: Really?
Lucy: Shrouds don’t have pockets…
Olga: Oh!
Lucy: Understand?
Olga: Is that why we don’t have purses?
Lucy: That was the only thing missing…
Olga: Well?
Lucy: We are just souls.
Olga: Oh my Christ!
