3596 - Silent bond

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou

Among the ancient stones
two human marbles
did not speak.

They looked only
at the walls of light
lifting the weight of the night.

They walked for a bit
on the paths of solitude
for the sacrifice of the towers.

And they mingled again
after the discovery
of the silent bond.
