A soldier who spoke like a bird | 21cm x 29cm | 2008
Eyes | 21cm x 29cm | 2008
Night | 21cm x 29cm | 2008
Pensive Maria | 21cm x 29cm | 2008
Removed her stockings | 21cm x 29cm | 2008
Room | 21cm x 29cm | 2008
She began to fly | 21cm x 29cm | 2008
She spread her arms at night | 21cm x 29cm | 2008
She spread her arms at night remained with her legs apart | 21cm x 29cm | 2008

Maria
Pensive Maria
removed her stockings
From her body came
voices of others
of a soldier who spoke like a bird
of a sick person who’d died of sheep’s pains
and the cries of Maria’s baby niece
that had been born those very days
Maria wept wept
now Maria laughed
she spread her arms at night
remained with her legs apart
Then her eyes darkened
black black blurry they darkened
The radio played
Maria wept
Maria wept
the radio played
Then Maria
slowly opened her arms
she began to fly
around the room
removed her stockings
From her body came
voices of others
of a soldier who spoke like a bird
of a sick person who’d died of sheep’s pains
and the cries of Maria’s baby niece
that had been born those very days
Maria wept wept
now Maria laughed
she spread her arms at night
remained with her legs apart
Then her eyes darkened
black black blurry they darkened
The radio played
Maria wept
Maria wept
the radio played
Then Maria
slowly opened her arms
she began to fly
around the room
Miltos Sachtouris | 1919
