314 - The only movement

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

To Anna Xynisteri

You did not say a word
but yet the language
of your silence
that is tying
the invisible movements
of a thought,
showed me
the depth of your wound.

But I did not dare
to touch
the caress that stole
your memory,
I bent humbly
near the light
and kissed
the soil of your dawn.
