POEM BY KOSTAS KARYOTAKIS

SONG

I walked all around your house (the moth flew

around the lamp until it met its sweet death) though

you didn’t come out that I’d burn into the flame of your eyes.

Alas, the fragrance of the body and of the soul

will be spoiled by contamination one night

even more alas that I won’t be the spoiler.
