My Name is Kostas Stergiou

My name is Kostas Stergiou

descendant of the Vizigoths

the Ostragoths, the Mavrogoths.

I live in caves,

I trim clubs,

I drink water out of skulls.

My profession is death

but for the time being I’m serving

the big dragon who has sent me

to Arcadia.

Over my skin

I wear a uniform,

I have two gold stars on my shoulders,

I hide my club carefully

under my cloak.

My name is Kostas Stergiou,

descendant of the Marmelukes,

Mavrolukes and Sosolukes;

I’m a cross between

Neanderthal and wolf

but for the time being I ride in a jeep

terrorizing women and children.

I’m a specialist in searching --

I search for children’s souls

and distill fear.

I impose the law

the law of the big Dragon

who has sent me, for the time being, 

to Arcadia.
