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

Poem by Kostas Hatzopoulos

BLURRY EVENING

The evening comes, blear

and sad and faint,

my pain’s but your caress

since you believe I hurt

it tells your legend

softly to the evening

and cries as it narrates

like the echo of a song

or like a bell that breaks

with a slow, soft weeping

as it calls me to the street

and I call you too.
