1925 - Illegal gestures

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou

When Camus was writing about the Mediterranean sea,
when he was talking about the hands of the humans
no one understood what he meant.
We had to experience the touch
to feel the joy
of sharing the pain.
Only afterwards, we were able to die
as we had to.
Only afterwards, we lived together again
with the caress and kiss.
