August: a latin word for a greek summer


Harris Vlavianos poetry
AUGUST MEDITATIONS
I
If a man in his forties
is still drawing seas and dovecotes
if in his thought is reflected
a sun more transparent,
more lucid than the sun of reality,
if the word ‘Amorgos’ is not just
the mask of a fleeting, adolescent memory,
then between the poem of desire
and the poem of necessity
real loss is panting.


The translation of that poem is taken from: http://www.poetryinternationalweb.net/pi/site/country/item/20
