Poem by Dimitris Liantinis

ARCTURUS

Guide of the seven bulls

that graze in the kingdom of your concern

you evaluate the stagnate century

you build the borders of your struggle

with four drops of frozen sweat

in the shape of the crusaders banner.

Oh, Alkalurops,

navigator of the children’s laughter

and primer of the elders

you stand amid the grayish aging rocks

and with your flute you sing about

the labor of death

of both the powerful and the immortal
