Find your comrades again

Oxford University Library

I know on your lips lightening wrote his name
I know in your eyes an eagle built his nest
But here on this moist riverbank only one path exists
Only one path, deceitful, and you must traverse it
You must plunge into blood before time catches up with you
And cross on the other side to find your comrades again
Blossoms birds deer
To find another sea another tenderness
To grab Achilles' horses by the bridle
Instead of sitting dumb scolding the river

Nikos Gatsos, Amorgos
(Translation Michael Nikoletseas)
