Neo-Hellene Poets, an Anthology of Modern Greek Poetry, 1750-2018

POEM BY KATERINA ANGHELAKI ROOKE

STAGING

I feel like the stage director of my agony

leading actor in the one-act play of stress

but who’s the playwright?

Who wrote this play

with such wrongly written acts

and who’s hiding behind the curtain

who won’t see Him when he comes down?

Yet the imaginary playwright

had imagined everything

even the moment

when the lights of the soul dim

and the stage empties

now resembling a blank page
