28973 - Joy

N. Lygeros
Translated from Greek by Athina Kehagias

Joy
amongst the children
wasn’t any longer
wearing
only black
because
she saw the light
and was touched
by the truth
which is protecting
the innocent
even from those
who have
suffered,
when they
overcome
the difficulty
of remembrance
which is not
mnemosyne
whereas now
the colours
came
through humanism.
