Devastation

The dentistry labs multiplied in our poor suburb, the same

with the pharmacies, and the coffin makers. The evenings

are green light bulbs on discoloured doors, ling lighted

planks. A forgotten faucet, on the Korakas side street,

drips all night long in front of the flower shop and

the barbershop. Someone cleans his shoes in front of

that door as if he would enter a big empty hall, with its

shiny, waxed marble floor and the appearance of the place

seems unfamiliar to him, same with his way of walk

and movement, the lack of windows, the silence, the key,

         the kerchief.
