Lots: 10

Yannis Ritsos

10.
The church's clock
the whitewashed houses
so many many leaves
innumerable
even inside the inexplicable
and on the chair in the garden.


from Lots (1977) [Collected Poems: IGamma ---pg 270]

Lots: 9

Yannis Ritsos

9.
The tree walks by
limping
from the leaves that fell
from the birds that left
from the rope
without the horse.


from Lots (1977) [Collected Poems: IGamma ---pg 270]

Lots: 8

Yannis Ritsos

8.
Stones and words
words and stones
stones.


from Lots (1977) [Collected Poems: IGamma ---pg 269]

Lots: 7

Yannis Ritsos

7.
The ship departed
the whistle remained
in the room all night
on the white sheets
completely naked
after love making.


from Lots (1977) [Collected Poems: IGamma ---pg 269]
