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

ELYSIAN FIELDS

Bodies extremely tired

bent, cut in half

souls deserted them, walk alone

on the grass slowly, open books laid

the bodies lied down, crunched

distorted and they appear

at the far end holding roses and with

the dream and passion they go

dust to dust the bodies become

yet far in the horizon, like suns

the souls go down dressed in sky

or like simple smiles on lips
