31387 - The rehearsal
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi
Two women in the flower garden of a park…
Lucy: Beauty will save the world.
Olga: Here you can see it everywhere.
Lucy: And it’s only the beginning.
Olga: The winter is yet to end…
Lucy: And already the yellow struggles to come out of the earth.
Olga: I didn’t see flowers in such a way.
Lucy: You mean as representatives of the yellow…
Olga: I thought that each one struggled on its own to live…
Lucy: While they are all together.
Olga: Now I see it better.
Lucy: They are all so close to one another.
Olga: But always in the same distance.
Lucy: As if they are keeping their distances.
Olga: The geometry of the yellow.
Lucy: Why is it that people don’t see them so…
Olga: They see what they understand.
Lucy: This way though, it is unfair
Olga: Isn’t that what we also live…
Lucy: Because we are poor?
Olga: Because we are like cut flowers.
Lucy: We are born like this…
Olga: The umbilical cord…
Lucy: And we live as these wither.
