24638 - When we gο on

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi

When we gο on
the chamber of the castle
of the sea
you will realize
what our people
defended
for 21 years
because it does not concern
only Candia
but our entire
Crete
and the infinite
blue
which you will discover
at the horizon
you will learn
that this port
has a fountain
which you will face
for the first time
because now
you will know
by experience
what happened then
in 1669.
