Yannis Ritsos
63.
Distant indecisive
vague
hushed conversations
the head-lamps of miners
benches in the deserted square
a soldier
a soccer player
night comes
with monstrous fake
eyelashes
he hammers in a nail
he hangs up his clothing
lies down
the poem is left naked
at the corner of Koraki
and Papanastasio.
Athens—June 4, 1980
from The Shadows of Birds (1980) [Collected Poems: IDelta ---pg 373]
