As we didn΄t manage
To devote great poetry to each other,
As we didn΄t manage
To paint the portrait of each other
With flawless strokes
On the canvasses of the centuries,
As our union will never be raised
In a prominent place
Like the one of Jesus the Savior
On the top of Rio,
Let΄s burst into flames this midnight
And get lost prematurely
Ιn the breast of the dark sky
Two fire works all shining.
Translation of the Greek verse “US WE DID NOT MANAGE”
prepared by TAKIS PIERRAKOS. The poem has been
written by the poet and is contained in the collection
“The Shaded Facet of Reality” , Editions ODOS PANOS, 2010
