From "Now 1/3"
Selected Poetry of Demosthenes Agrafiotis
Translated by Angelos Sakkis and John Sakkis
6.12
Qui que tu sois, voici ton maîtreSicilian marble
the cost in art
any way you look at it
impossibility of necessity
from generation to generation
the illusion of in-between stages
the new money
the limits treacherous
the treacherous limits
only what is beautiful
whatever pain
whatever torture
for the avoidance of retrogression
grande folie
petite folie
observation from the windows
leaves tremble in the morning breeze
the inhabitants preferred shopping
the voice from the past
taken from the way up
from the dignified guides
demystification?
so much facility?
then a crummy English comedy is enough
for the history of the universe
of rain
of broken ceramics not to be written
A message from Director
“esperance”
outside temperature
distance to destination
Hyperbole.
