6607 - To little Phaedra

N. Lygeros
Translation: Paola Vagioni

With the fingers painted
you draw the life
which you haven’t lived yet.
Russian or Mycenaean
they help your brushes
in a strange way
which you don’t always understand
but inside the living room
when we were looking for the details
you recognized the patterns
which you hadn’t seen
because you knew how to see
the invisible shapes
of the forbidden intelligence
and on the tapestry
you indicated for the first time
the Chinese’s spot
only in French.
