Neo-Hellene Poets, an Anthology of Modern Greek Poetry

INHERITANCE

He knew I devoted all my

earthly love to him

I pronounced him heir

of the world which I had

concealed from the traitors

for this, he dug

his grave deep

he threw in it

the inheritance

soon after he stood

somber on top of the slab and

from the depth

of his lungs

he wailed

in this shadow for eons

we’ve dwelt

you and I

the two disinherited 

you and I

the two exaggerations
