εννιά στα δώδεκα | nine out of twelve

κάθε τι που μας βελτιώνει,

μας πάει μπροστά,

ξεκινά

όταν στο ρολόι

χτυπήσει Σεπτέμβρης.

κ η χαρά μας;

τα όνειρα τ απέραντα, τα παιδικά;

θαμμένα κάτω από σταχτιά βότσαλα,

σε μια απόμερη παραλία,

τέλη Αυγούστου.

everything that makes us better,

gets us one step forward,

begins

when the clock

strikes September.

what about our joy?

our endless, childhood dreams?

buried under ashen pebbles,

in a distant beach,

at the end of August.

lady beggar

if only

the lack of structure

in her words

and

the lack of sanity

in her eyes

could help you notice:

the constraints she left behind

are the same holding you down.
