Excerpt
And they looked at me and
said, “tremble, gypsy and all
you unbelievers. We burn
the cursed, evil book
written by Gemistos*
who doesn’t accept the
Virgin Mary nor Christ and
on altars and thrones he
worships demons, ghosts
and the pagan idols of
many peoples.”
Loud psalms spread over
the sweet and rosy dawn
embroidered by the newly
rising splendorous sun;
psalms of Christians and
psalms of the polytheists
and the Gyspy’s psalm
the third and last.
