The story I'm going to tell, is not my story. It is the story of someone, who is telling a story which is very similar to his own. The dream I will remember, won't be mine. It's the dream of someone who remembers a dream, that is very similar to his own. I think of stories I like to make stories. To tell them. I know this must sound like the dream of little Iasonas. What will he be when he grows up. When I wake up, it'll happen again. It'll start all over...

Woodworm
μονος,
αναμεσα σε γνωστους,
σαν να το εκδικουμε,
να το βασανιζω.
Πλαθω μια γοπα στη πυρωμενη πετρα,
να 'ναι αιχμηρη
αν χρειαστει.
Κι υστερα,
τα πραγματα που χρησιμοποιω καθημερινα
γινονται μεγαλα σαν κτηρια.

Elastic death
Lives.
Feels as if you have lived centuries ago.
What do you remember from that?
Your presence.
Can you feel the absence
of someone you haven't met,
of someone who doesn't exist
of someone whose face you don't remember.
Someone lives in our house,
someone lives our lives.
Do you have any idea how is it to live in the ice?
Paralyzed, unable to react.
Monotonous
Elastic death
Η σχετικοτητα.
Ζωες.
Σαν να ειχες ζησει πριν αιωνες.
Τι θυμασαι;
Η παρουσια σου.
Μπορεις να αισθανθεις την απουσια
καποιου που δεν ξερεις,
καποιου που δεν υπαρχει,
καποιου που δε θυμασαι καν το προσωπο του.
Καποιοι αλλοι ζουν στο σπιτι μας,
καποιοι αλλοι ζουν τις ζωες μας.
Εχεις ιδεα πως ειναι να ζεις μεσα στον παγο;
Ανημπορη να αντιδρασει.

Obstructions
I am smoking a cigarette.
I am thinking about you.
I am thinking about your knee.
The feeling of holding you
behind the knee.
Also today
I experienced something,
that I hope to understand
in a few days.
Around my left hand a circle of
blurred white flames was shining.
In the centre of my heart
there was a tiny white point.
I don't know what it means.

Ερειπια της Παλμυρας
βαθύτερο μες στην παραδοχή, τόσο καταλαβαίνω
γιατί βαραίνεις κι αποχτάς τη σημασία
που δίνουν στα ερείπια οι άνθρωποι.
Εδώ που όλα σκουπίζονται,
τα μάρμαρα κι οι πέτρες κι η ιστορία
μένεις εσύ με την πυρακτωμένη σου πνοή για να θυμίζεις
το πέρασμα ανάμεσα στην ομορφιά, τη μνήμη
εκείνου που εσίγησε ανεπαίσθητα εντός μου
σφαδάζοντας στην ίδια του κατάρρευση κι ακόμα
τους άλλους που ανύποπτοι μες σε βαθύν ύπνο διαρρέουν.
Όσο περνά ο καιρός και προχωρώ βαθύτερα
στο ακίνητο φθινόπωρο που μαλακώνει πλένοντας
με φως τα πεζοδρόμια, τόσο βλέπω
στη χρυσωμένη δωρεά του ήλιου μια εγκατάλειψη
για όσα περιμένω και δεν πήρα, για όσα
μου ζήτησαν κι αρνήθηκα μη έχοντας, για όσα
μοιράστηκα απερίσκεπτα και μένω
ξένος και κουρελιάρης τώρα
Μα όταν
μες στη θρυμματισμένη θύμηση αναδεύω
ερείπια, βρίσκω απόκριση βαθιά γιατί τα μάρμαρα
κι οι πέτρες κι η ιστορία μένουν για να θυμίζουν
το πέρασμά σου ανάμεσα στην ομορφιά -- απόκριση
για όσα περιμένω και δεν πήρα.
