2023 Longlist Announcement

Symphony I

Then, who was the guilty person? Let him

            appear;

and thousands of people went out and stood

in front of the army and declared their guilt

some because of their greatness and others

because of their ego, some because of bravery

and others out of desperation

and all because of the need to be loved:

to the arms…

Only the roads remain dusty and deserted,

           old beggars of men

walking along, on moribund cobblestones, with

           their drenched bags on their shoulders
