GODS
And the first man saw
the sun’s ascent for the first time
and he heard the music
responding to it sweetly
thousands of words
thousand compliments
offered to the spring of day
and everything, what a miracle,
the hymns and everything
spread to the four corners of the earth
and the eons gave them flesh
and turned them into
gods of light
monsters of harmony
Manolis Aligizakis
