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...

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.

Europa
the sleeper has found rest on the bottom of the river.
The force of the stream has opened the door
and is leading you on.
Above your body, people are still alive.
Follow the river as days go by.
Head for the ocean that mirrors the sky.
You want to wake up
to free yourself of the image of Europa.
But it is not possible.

πως υπαρχεις και δεν υπαρχεις

Angels in fast motion
then the anal phase
and then the banal phase, right?
First you think
you're a very special individual.
You're different, more profound,
more spiritual than other people.
Then comes the banal phase.
Once you've lived that, you know
that you're no fucking better than
anybody else. You're expendable.
You're quite ordinary. You'll die,
you'll be buried, eaten by worms
be forgotten by posterity
like all other mortals out there.
Once you know that,
you've grown up.
