LIFE’S LACK OF APPETITE

I’m not hungry, I don’t hurt I don’t stink
perhaps deep inside I suffer and I don’t know it
I pretend I laugh
I don’t seek the impossible
nor the possible, bodies
forbidden to me don’t please my eyes.
Sometimes I gaze the sky
with a yearning glance
when the sun lessens its gleam and
the blue lover surrenders
to the beauty of the night.
My only involvement
with the going around of the world
is my steady breath.
But I also feel another
strange involvement:
the agony I suddenly feel
for the human pain.
It spreads on earth
like a drenched in blood
liturgical tablecloth
that shrouds myths and gods
it renews itself endlessly
and becomes one with life.
Yes, I want to cry now
but even the fountain of my tears
has turned dry.

Η Ανορεξία της Ύπαρξης

Δεν πεινάω, δεν πονάω, δε βρωμάω
