25262 - 3 o’clock

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou

At 3 o’clock
we live
more intense
the need
to produce
the work
of light
into the night
because we listen to
the stars
talking to us
about the next
day
the time
that all the others
sleep
inside oblivion
because they didn’t manage
to live
with the substance
of life.
