To those who think that Greece does not matter today, let me say that they could not make a bigger mistake. Today, like old Greece, is of the utmost importance for anyone looking to find himself.

DOES A MONK EAT ALONE ON SUNDAY?

Sunday at the laid table.

Steamed dishes

pies, soups, cheeses,

Life is hectic on Sundays.

The whole world is spread out on a clean tablecloth.

Thyme smells musky.

ruby wine in the glasses

in the mouths

May hearts open like a fig.

In every breath the sip drips promise

warm words

like the slices of bread that was leavened at dawn.

Nothing is left over.

a mouthful of laughter

everyone eats from it

until the plate is empty,

it has for everyone.

Memory is an extinguished candle;

It's windy on Sundays.

erases secrets,

all of them were forgiven.

The sun drips on the edge of the lips

to pour out songs

to pour out a blessing

A feast for the ages to drink.

Then the dinnerware in the sink

the bag is empty

nothing to throw away

the dog's tardiness swallowed

and the last piece

bellies and mouths were full on Sunday.

No one noticed the empty chair.

and today.

A plate in the monk's cupboard

Bad fate struck him, from birth,

to become a widow

A fork found no resistance to stick anywhere.

he couldn't find a hand

found no sign

for the one who didn't sit down.

Yesterday doesn't come back.

nor Sunday, the day of forgiveness.

Does he eat alone?

The question

uneaten

on the table

like a crumb falling to the floor

along with the others

as the same as these.

I'm not running to save it.

from farasi.

Monday tomorrow.
