22691 - Shadow IX

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi

Darkness is filled with shadows or rather the shadows make up the darkness.

Lucy

In the beginning I thought we were alone…

Dominique

And we‘re not?

Lucy

Do you see this black?

Dominique

What else is there for me to see?

Lucy

You are looking at it but you cannot see that they are shadows…

Dominique

Do you mean that these are the black?

Lucy

And as long as we don’t do anything it expands…

Dominique

I hadn’t thought that inaction helps them…

Lucy

Because you didn’t know about the past.

Dominique

Now I don’t know about the future.

Lucy

We will have to resist…

Dominique

Yes of course with the light?

Lucy

No! You said the word.

Dominique

It can’t be done otherwise.

Lucy

But the black will cover you.

Dominique

The candle too must be burnt in order to bring it.

Lucy

I see only your eyes now.

Dominique

It doesn’t matter.

Lucy

What do you mean?

Dominique

I didn’t do anything with the red, I didn’t do anything with the green, but now I can’t take it anymore.

Lucy

Light!
