24176 - For the Kalash

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

For the Kalash
there is
no verb
in their language
nor a path
at their mountains
as ownership of property
bares no substance
because nature
constitutes a path
for whoever
is following it
without stopping
at the obstacles
of life
as he is
always able
to overcome them
to exceed them
due
to the intelligence
of his land
and the complicity
of man
with the forest
and the tallest
mountains.
