A Prison

A prison

--how did they reach us there? -- 

a prison

my life a prison.

Without a sentence

-how did they reach us there?-- 

or judge

my life a prison.

At Makriyannis

before you could even speak

a British volley brought you to your knees.

You looked at us sadly

I suppose you were thinking

how little the day lasted.

In the squares,

each one sitting by himself

you stamped our fateful loneliness

with your sad look

who will tell the secret

in our lost life?
