8010 - The islands without clouds

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

Only by the islands without clouds
you understand the life
which you forget in daily routine;
because there the rare humans
have not to prove
any kind of sociability
and compromise.
They share their solitude
with the sun and sea,
they live with the substance
because fashion is meaningless
and when there is a danger
they don’t expect everything
from the system,
they know that it is nonexistent
at the time of need
and they fight by themselves
for their freedom.
