Orion
Your sin will always be more than enough
in the silent hospitality of earth
your evil thought will always harm your eyes
that you carry in your two hands
like broken street lamps
yet you’ll follow the path of the sun
guided by the hammering of water
that builds houses and laboratories
of gods in the sea floor
you’ll follow the path of the sun
accepting the advice of children
who direct flocks of shadows and thunderbolts
that you’ll have as a roommate the fairy
dressed in the morning shyness
that you’ll reign over
the fruitful earldom of October
hunted hunter
with the insubordinate belt
brother of my fear and my lust
and blood brother
Manolis Aligizakis
