ΑΠΌΣΠΑΣΜΑ: ΦΥΣΑΕΙ ΣΤΑ ΣΤΑΥΡΌΔΡΌΜΙΑ ΤΌΥ ΚΌΣΜΌΥ (1953)

Κι έγινε τότε μεγάλη σιωπή. Κι άρχισε ο ήλιος να κατεβαίνει μέσα στις φλόγες της δύσης. Και ο ουρανός έγινε κόκκινος. Και το χώμα κόκκινο.
Σαν αίμα.

Και δεν ακουγόταν τίποτα σε όλη τη γη. Και προβάλλοντας σιγά-σιγά πίσω από τα υψώματα, μεγάλες σκοτεινές φάλαγγες φάνηκαν να 'ρχονται.

Από τις πεδιάδες,
από τα φαράγγια,
από τις χαράδρες,
απ’τα βουνά
απ' όλους τους δρόμους φάνηκαν να 'ρχονται.

Οι νεκροί του πολέμου.

Και σμίγαν τις φάλαγγες και πλήθαιναν και προχωρούσαν
εκατομμύρια νεκροί. Και άναβαν κόκκινοι οι ορίζοντες σα να καιγόταν ο κόσμος.

Μια γυναίκα ουρλιάζει:"γιέ μου"
και χύνεται στα πόδια ενός νεκρού.
Ένας νταμαρτζής φωνάζει: “μαζί τους”,
ένας χτίστης: “δολοφόνοι”.
Ένας αχθοφόρος σηκώνει το χέρι
του και η γροθιά του πελώρια κρέμεται πάνω από τα μέγαρα.
"Βοήθεια", "Μαζί τους", "Δολοφόνοι", "Γιέ μου, γιέ μου"...

Και τότε ξανάρχισε ο άνεμος κι ολάκερο το πλήθος σάλεψε κι άρχισε να προχωράει∙ ένα δάσος από σηκωμένες γροθιές.

Είμαστε εμείς που ζυμώνουμε και δεν έχουμε ψωμί.
Εμείς που βγάζουμε το κάρβουνο και κρυώνουμε.
Είμαστε εμείς που δεν έχουμε τίποτα και ερχόμαστε να πάρουμε τον κόσμο.

Ειρήνη. Ειρήνη.

Είμαστε οι προλετάριοι.

EXCERPT: WINDS AT THE WORLD'S CROSSROADS (1953)

And then the great silence emerged. And the sun started its descent in
the flames of the west. And the sky became red. Αnd the earth became
red.
Like blood.

Nothing at all was heard on the earth. And coming out slowly, from
behind the hillocks, huge dark columns emerged.
From the plains, from the gorges, from the ravines and from all the
lanes, they appeared. The dead of the war.

And the columns mingled and multiplied and advanced, millions
of dead.

And the horizons lit red; as if the world was burning.

A woman screamed “My son”
and tore down on the feet of a dead man.
A quarryman shouts “with them” a builder shouts, “murderers”. A porter raises his arm and his fist, enormous, hangs above the palaces. “Help”, “With them”, “Murderers”, “My son, my son”.

And then the wind started blowing again and the whole crowd moved and started advancing; a huge forest of elevated fists.

It is us who knead; and we have no bread.
It is us who mine the coal; and are cold.
It is us who have nothing and we come to take the world.

We are the proletarians.

about

Yovel Athens, Greece

“The sign is the search itself, the sign is you!

You, hobbling out of the mud of the roads.

It’s you. We who are questing: we are the now, the past and that which is yet to come

The old are stationary [they’ve already been.] Old believers, dead already

The bricks of the Cathedral say nothing”.
